Probably because of this autologin [1] thingie. We need to add autologin support also for lightdm which is the preferred dm for Xfce. It should be easily implemented. All we need to do is create a config file (e.g 90-mageia-autologin.conf) to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/ and add following lines to it: [SeatDefaults] autologin-user=<username> CC'ing to djennings who previously added autologin support for slim and lxde.

derekjenn Or comment out Xfce from this autologin thingie temporarily as it doesn't use gdm by default. it is because of autologin http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/any.pm?revision=8406&view=markup#l665 http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/install/steps.pm?revision=8254&view=markup#l738 (maybe we should drop this step ?) I confirm both problems: - Installation of gdm - The desktop is not xfce However, However, in my test, autologin is not installed. During the installation, in the choice of the groups of packages, I deselect all the groups and I keep only the desktop Xfce. What installs already 1012 packages, what is a lot. It would not thus be autologin that asks gdm ? CC:

paiiou In this case autologin != autologin rpm pkg. Also, gdm pulls gnome-session which ships session config file with higher priority than Xfce one ==> gnome session will be selected when launching dm first time. Still valid 4beta1. DVD 64 with default XFCE installation. Whiteboard:

XFCE asks to install GDM after main package installation - DVD installs =>
XFCE asks to install GDM after main package installation then boots into minimal gnome - DVD installs I've created a patch for perl-install/any.pm, but I want to test it locally first. Any advices/instructions how to do it? Local mirror? Which pkgs should I rebuild? there is some interesting info here: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Drakx-installer_tips_and_tricks This one seems fixed. It uses xdm now and doesn't install gdm separately. I created a new bug 11641 as there is currently no option to reboot the machine from XFCE. forgot to close it Status:
