Xfce4 service not available

Post by mahmood » 2018/11/16 10:46:41

I have installed xcfe desktop manager, However, I don't see the corresponding service in /usr/lib/systemd/system/

Code: Select all

[root@rocks7 ~]# find /usr/lib/systemd/system/ -name xfc*
[root@rocks7 ~]# yum list xfce*

It won't have a service, it's an alternative desktop and that's a per user choice, not a service.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

So, how can I fully replace gnome with other things in the config files? I wanted to do that for one user, but since they are using vnc, it seems that it is not very easy to do.
I think it is easier to replace the whole desktop manager, so that when vnc wants to connect to the desktop, it will connect to whatever it is...
