Set the default target to boot into:

If you haven't already,
Switch to/Start the multi-user.target(systemd) pka "runlevel 3" (SysV):
# systemctl isolate multi-user.target

Make a copy of the 'startxfce4' script:
# cp /usr/bin/startxfce4 /usr/bin/startxfce4-from-non-graphical
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Edit the 'startxfce4-from-non-graphical' script:
at the end of the line 118, add the following expression:
" -- vt01"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The difference between these two scripts:
# diff /usr/bin/startxfce4 /usr/bin/startxfce4-from-non-graphical
118c118
<- exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC

-> exec $prog /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc $CLIENTRC $SERVERRC -- vt01

Log out from root

Start the Xfce session:
$ startxfce4-from-non-graphical
12.
You are now logged in the Xfce session,
with a significant difference from before, …
$ loginctl list-sessions
SESSION UID USER SEAT
1 1000 poma seat0
1 sessions listed.
Now (via 'startxfce4-from-non-graphical' script):
$ loginctl -p Active -p State show-session 1
Active=yes <--
State=active <--
Before (via 'startxfce4' script):
$ loginctl -p Active -p State show-session 1
Active=no <--
State=online <--
In this way you start the Xfce session outside the domain of the display
manager, like you did before and your concern regarding the handling of
authorization(polkit) should be resolved. ;)
Certain steps of the whole process can be done differently, but what is
certainly the most important, is the eighth(8.) step!

In addition;
Essential elements of the configuration:
tty1 -> vt01
tty2 -> vt02
etc.
X - vtXX use the specified VT number
i.e. use the "same" VT number as is the terminal you logged in(tty1).
Poma, once more I am impressed by your knowledge! And I thank you for
your patience and the time it took to write that instruction.
It works on the F-20 Virtualbox VM, next to try it on the original
F-20 on the other hard drive. This hard drive is near full and I want
to use the larger one that F-20 is on.
I find it more practical to use Virtualbox than VMware with Linux
since getting VMware to work after a kernel update is always a problem
in finding the required patches. I regret having spent the money for
VMware ...
Again, thanks,
Bob
Poma:
I've done the same to the original Fedora-20 install on the second hard
drive and all is happiness and light once more!
Many thanks,
Bob
