== Synopsis ==
The Amahi 7 Express Disc install does not install the graphical user interface gnome. This Guide instructs you on how to install the X Server as well as to make the X Server boot everytimechosen desktop if using Fedora 19 or later. To install after After Amahi Express has finished installing , execute the following commands:
== Commands ==
Become root:
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  yum -y install @gnome For the users who want Mate, enter  yum -y install @mate For the users who want XFCE, enter
Enter your password for the root user yum -y install @xfce
yum -y groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"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
yum -y install Xorggroup list
== Configure Your Display ==
You may also If you used the above method of installing a graphical desktop then you will not need to configure your display:X11. == Force GUI on Boot ==
yum -y system-config-displayNext 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.
== To change your Amahi HDA to boot into gnome == ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
First and foremost you should be logged in as root.You can now either reboot or boot into the GNOME/KDE Desktop:
The /etc folder on these Linux installations contain a file named inittab - mind you no extensions to the filename. This file contains lots of important parameters & runlevel configurations that the kernel reads while booting and configures the system accordingly. Open this file in your favourite editor and scroll down just a little bit say, till the 18th-20th line (usually) till you find something similar to this: startx
id: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:initdefault:again.
As you can see the last line id:3:initdefault: specifies WHAT MODE (Graphical ln -sf /lib/systemd/Textsystem/multi-user.target /MultiUser etc) to boot the /systemd/system into. The number "3" which according to the options - is Full multiuser mode - involving all the networking features of Linux, but in a non-graphical environment/default.target
Change this value to "5" <!- here, according to the Commented out options above tells the system to boot straight into X11 (X-Windows) i.e. the Graphical Mode.== Package Removal ==
That's it. We are done. Save You can also remove the file and quitGUI if you want to switch to another Desktop Environment or go back to a headless install. Reboot your system for To do this run the setting to take effect.following command:
WARNING: When you are editing these critical system files in Linux, be absolutely sure of WHAT you are editing. One SINGLE MISTAKE can render the whole system non-bootable. These are as dangerous as (if not more) Windows Registry. So there...{{Code|yum groupremove "KDE"}}
* Default runlevelRun the following command to remove X completely. The runlevels used by RHS are:* 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)* 1 - Single user mode* 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)* 3 - Full multiuser mode* 4 - unused* 5 - X11* 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this){{Code|yum groupremove "X Windows System"}}
<i>NOTE: Replace "KDE" with "GNOME Desktop Environment" if you installed GNOME</i>-->
