Hi Rich, I have successfully swapped out Xfce for GNOME on several systems I help maintain (running CentOS 7). Here's how I've done it:
- sudo yum remove '@Xfce' - sudo yum --skip-broken install '@^GNOME Desktop' The "@" symbols refer to yum "groups": Xfce is a simple group, GNOME is an "environment group" (see https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/40276/whats-the-difference-between-an-environment-group-and-group/ for info about environment groups). The "--skip-broken" was needed because GNOME wants to install an ALSA package (maybe alsa-firmware? I forget the details) that conflicts with the Audio Science "hpklinux" package. Using "--skip-broken" leaves the hpklinux package installed. Hope this helps! ~David Klann On 12/6/18 10:29 PM, Rich Stivers wrote: > I appreciate all the people who responded to my inquiry regarding the > Dell Optiplex 3060.
