== 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:
{{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
{{Code| yum -y groupinstall "X Window System" "GNOME Desktop Environment"}}install @gnome
For the users who want KDEMate, enter
{{Code| yum -y groupinstall "X Windows System" "KDE"}}install @mate
== Configure Your Display ==For the users who want XFCE, enter
You may also need to configure your display: yum -y install @xfce
{{Code|Xorg :1 -configure}}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
<i>Note: If you get command not found, that means you have a newer version of X that does not require a config of the system, if that is the case please skip this step and the next and move on.</i> yum group list
Then we need to move the new config file so Xorg can read it.== Configure Your Display ==
{{Code|cp /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/If you used the above method of installing a graphical desktop then you will not need to configure X11/xorg.conf}}
== Force the GUI on Boot ==
Next we need to make sure it boots into init 5. Run This used to be done by editing the following 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 accomplish this:make the graphical user interface the default.
{{Code|sed ln -i 'ssf /id:3:initdefault:lib/id:5:initdefault:systemd/g' system/graphical.target /etc/inittab}}systemd/system/default.target
You can now either reboot or boot into the GNOME/KDE Desktop:
{{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.
{{Code|sed ln -i 'ssf /id:5:initdefault:lib/id:3:initdefault:systemd/g' system/multi-user.target /etc/inittab}}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:
{{Code|yum groupremove "X Windows System"}}
<i>NOTE: Replace "KDE" with "GNOME Desktop Environment" if you installed GNOME</i>-->
== Automatic Login ==
