How do I start XFCE in Fedora 10?


Recommended Posts

I grabbed all the packages and they seemed to install fine.

I tried through the Terminal, and this is what I got afer typing SUDO and then startxfce4:

usage: sudo -h | -K | -k | -L | -l | -V | -v

usage: sudo [-bEHPS] [-r role] [-p prompt] [-t type] [-u username|#uid]

[VAR=value] {-i | -s | <command>}

usage: sudo -e [-S] [-p prompt] [-u username|#uid] file ...

[JoeBlow@localhost ~]$ startxfce4

/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0.0

I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.

I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.

I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE.

N: main.c: Called SUID root and real-time/high-priority scheduling was requested in the configuration. However, we lack the necessary privileges:

N: main.c: We are not in group 'pulse-rt' and PolicyKit refuse to grant us privileges. Dropping SUID again.

N: main.c: For enabling real-time scheduling please acquire the appropriate PolicyKit privileges, or become a member of 'pulse-rt', or increase the RLIMIT_NICE/RLIMIT_RTPRIO resource limits for this user.

W: main.c: High-priority scheduling enabled in configuration but not allowed by policy.

W: core-util.c: setpriority(): Permission denied

E: main.c: Daemon startup failed.

xfce4-session: Another session manager is already running

Agent pid 28423 killed

Damn, always a Linux noob. ;)

Thanks!

I already did that. And totally missed the little XFCE option in the panel below once I selected the user. I'm accustomed to the option being in the login box itself. Totally missed it.

Thanks. :blush:

The startxfce4 is a pretty nice script, when called from a tty it starts the X server (if it isn't already running), then it starts the XFCE desktop.

Don't use the sudo command to start a desktop for your user. :no:

Use it just for administration tasks.

:) Yes, I have to relearn my Linux basics. Hey, it's been over three years.

XFCE is very nice, and is blazing fast. even got the compositor running, which is normally broken with Fedora 10 - a GTK issue. But this fixed it nicely:

su -c 'yum remove imsettings'

And then restart.

Imagine that, some XFCE eye candy.

So now I'm dual booting Leopard and Fedora 10/XFCE
