But, since Centos is based on RedHat and the packages are probably pretty much the same as fedora it sounds like you didn't choose a desktop environment at install. /usr/bin/startx probably is from the same package as on fedora which is xorg-x11-xinit. So, I would do ... dnf whatprovides /usr/bin/startx (or the yum equivalent if that is what CentOS uses) and then make sure it is installed. -- In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from computers altogether. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
