From the way you describe what you have done you do not have the Mate desktop installed. Just a few pieces of it. Look here. yum grouplist In the list you should see Mate Desktop in the Available Environment Groups: section. If you had it installed it would be in the Installed Groups: section. yum groupinstall "Mate Desktop" (note the quote marks) wait for the list and the y/N say yes :-) logout, When you enter the login you should be offered a choice of desktops. -- David -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
