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.
.
[root@box83 bong]# ls -l /etc/systems/system/display-manager.service
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 35 Apr 25 02:35
/etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service ->
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service
However gdm is not active, it loks like there is no DM running, is that
possible?
[root@box83 bobg]# systemctl status gdm.service
● gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; enabled; vendor
preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
As Joe points out it probably had lightdm running before I began making
changes trying to fix an intermittent scan problem I can't even describe
yet.
This resulted from the replacement of a ViewSonic monitor that did not
deal with edid and I think I have cleaned out all the xrandr stuff but
perhaps there is some artifact still lurking.
I can systemctl start lightdm or gdm, but what is it running on now,
nothing?
