The groups installed are: Installing for group install "Base": Installing for group install "Common NetworkManager submodules": Installing for group install "Desktop Debugging and Performance Tools": Installing for group install "Dial-up Networking Support": Installing for group install "Directory Client": Installing for group install "Fonts": Installing for group install "GNOME": Installing for group install "Guest Desktop Agents": Installing for group install "Input Methods": Installing for group install "Internet Browser": Installing for group install "Java Platform": Installing for group install "Multimedia": Installing for group install "Network File System Client": Installing for group install "Printing Client": (found via greping the screen log) Poweroff, checked that everything was plugged in right. Powered up. Once the DE came up, I looked for how to select Xfce. Did not see it. Clicked on my user, and THERE was a little icon for selecting Xfce. Chose that, entered my password, and the Xfce desktop came right up. Only have done a little so far from the direct console. Bottom line is my manual list is missing something critical. We need the appropriate groups instead of guessing. I am sure there are people better than me to build the right manual list if we can't get the group(s) built. Meanwhile I will do the vncserver with Xfce test as well now that I have a DE. I have had problems with F29, see bug 1633805. >> >> thanks >> > Thanks for testing. > Pablo. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
