Dealing with servers (virtual guests) upon which KDE was installed as the GUI. I'm going through an exercise to try to remove KDE and replace it, reluctantly, with GNOME.

yum erase kde-runtime seems to have done that deed nicely.

First attempt yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" got all manner of conflicts between libvirt-libs and the existing (old) libvirt-client

yum upgrade libvirt_client

yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop" got passed that

Did I mention that I'm working remotely, trying to balance between PuTTY, RDP and vshpere (oh yeah, it's ESXi 5.1)?

I did get to the boot screen on the guest console to accept the license and finish the configuration. I am able to connect to "some part of" gnome via RDP but I don't have an "Activity" or "Applications" widget in the top left corner. Gnome Classic?? No obvious way to log out of that session.

Now on reboot, the console goes through the boot sequence, displays the CentOS 7 GUI login splash but not the actual login process. Am not able to get to (what I know as session manager) select which Gnome or ????

I am able to ssh into the system no problems. I am also able to connect via RDP but it's not useable.

WhaddidIdo this time?

Howard
