LTD Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 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 ...

LTD Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lechio Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
