AFAIK, there's no really clear way. You can "ps ax | grep dm | grep sess" and sort it out that way: [rick@prophead ~]$ ps ax | grep dm | grep sess 1923 ? Sl 0:00 lightdm --session-child 12 19 Assuming you're starting the GUI from systemd startup, you can find which is used by default by doing something like: [root@prophead ~]# ls -l /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 39 Oct 17 2016 /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service -> /usr/lib/systemd/system/lightdm.service So by default, systemd will spin up the lightdm display manager. I think that's set up by a scriptlet when you install XFCE but I won't swear to it. > What desktop did the Fedora Xfce Spin come with? XFCE uses lightdm by default. You can use others if you wish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 226437340 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - If Windows isn't a virus, then it sure as hell is a carrier! - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
