As CentOS is new, we need to add additional repos, namely epel-testing.
First, install yum utils to get yum-config-manager
yum install yum-utils -y dnf install yum-utils -y
Then, enable EPEL testing which has all the missing packages from CentOS 7 in CentOS 8.
yum install epel-release -y yum-config-manager --enable epel-testing
Bare minimum desktop:
yum install xfce4-panel Thunar xfce4-appfinder xfdesktop xinit Xorg -y
All the extras:
dnf --enablerepo=epel-testing install xfce4-panel Thunar thunar-volman tumbler tumbler-extras \ xfce4-appfinder xfce4-power-manager xfce4-settings \ xfdesktop xfce4-session xfce4-terminal \ xfce4-notifyd -y
Hallo, how do I start xfce?
startx is an unknown command
Should be
And if you’re on the command line
If you get an error, use the correct display
You can also check using TAB completion:
start typing start and then press TAB twice and it will list all the commands in all your $PATHs that start with “start”
