I have had some help in private exchanges and have done the following: yum install avahi gnome-backgrounds systemctl enable avahi-daemon systemctl start avahi-daemon this took care of a number of errors, but why gnome-backgrounds for Xfce to deal with the message: Oct 17 20:17:39 ct-c7 journal: Failed to load background 'file:///usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-lock.jpg': Error opening file /usr/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-lock.jpg: No such file or directory But still a couple of unresolved errors that are stopping the login: =============private exchange===================== > Oct 18 10:45:34 ct-c7 journal: Some code accessed the property 'AuthList' on > the module 'authList'.

I even tried installing gnome-shell: # yum install gnome-shell Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.siena.edu * centos-kernel: mirror.siena.edu * extras: mirror.siena.edu * updates: mirror.siena.edu Package gnome-shell-3.26.2-5.el7.armv7hl already installed and latest version Nothing to do So what does it want? This is a bug... And along with the above message is: Oct 18 10:45:36 ct-c7 org.gnome.Shell.desktop: Window manager warning: "XF86RFKill" is not a valid accelerator This is also a bug to file with a need for that the accelerator not be called when the modules is absent, as on arm? So I think I am getting closer to running Xfce, but stumbling along the way. All help on the above greatly appreciated. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
