Synopsis
The Amahi 7 Express CD install does not install the graphical user interface gnome. This Guide instructs you on how to install the chosen desktop if using Fedora 19 or later. To install after Amahi Express has finished installing execute the following commands:
Commands
Become root:
| bash code |
|---|
su -
|
Enter your password for the root user. Now you will enter the command that will install the various packages to create a usable GUI. For users who would like Gnome 3, enter
| bash code |
|---|
yum -y group install "GNOME Desktop"
|
For the users who want KDE, enter
| bash code |
|---|
yum -y group install "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
|
For the users who want XFCE, enter
| bash code |
|---|
yum -y group install "Xfce Desktop"
|
There are several other GUI desktop environments that are easy to install this way. To list all the available environment groups enter this in the command line
| bash code |
|---|
yum group list
|
Configure Your Display
If you used the above method of installing a graphical desktop then you will not need to configure X11.
Force the GUI on Boot
Next we need to make sure it boots into init 5. This used to be done by editing the inittab to use 5 instead of 3 as it's default. In Fedora 19 and above the inittab is not used. Instead, issue command to make the graphical user interface the default.
| bash code |
|---|
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
|
You can now either reboot or boot into the GNOME/KDE Desktop:
| bash code |
|---|
startx
|
If you wish to disable this in the future and/or want to uninstall the GUI run the following command. This will cause your HDA to boot into init 3 again.
| bash code |
|---|
ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/multi-user.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
|
Package Removal
You can also remove the GUI if you want to switch to another Desktop Environment or go back to a headless install. To do this run the following command:
| bash code |
|---|
yum groupremove "KDE"
|
Run the following command to remove X completely.
| bash code |
|---|
yum groupremove "X Windows System"
|
NOTE: Replace "KDE" with "GNOME Desktop Environment" if you installed GNOME
Automatic Login
If you want a specified user to login (if you are using MythTV or some other app which requires the X Server) then please do so with these instructions.
Cheers!
