didn't receive it. So, I'm copying this back to the test list.

Hi f25 guys,
seeing a problem in f25 if I try to install the lxde desktop group:
1. rpm -qa|grep -i lxde
(empty output, in my eyes it seems no lxde package is
installed)
When I do the equivalent, the 3 packages below show up.
My question: Is lxde installed, or not?
I run lxde as my principal desktop. These are the only packages
installed that have lxde in the name.
imsettings-lxde-1.7.2-1.fc25.x86_64
lxde-common-0.99.1-1.fc25.noarch
lxde-icon-theme-0.5.1-2.fc24.noarch
Does the program /usr/bin/startlxde exist on your system?
Hi Stan,
does not exist!
Then, lxde is not installed, no matter what dnf says.
If try to login, no lxde desktop variant is offered.
I remember that a had similar dnf problems in f24 if I tried to
install desktop groups.
Any help?
What if you start in multiuser mode (old runlevel 3), login, and run
startlxde from a terminal?
As I said: does not exist!
Is this an upgrade rather than a clean install? Is it possible
that at the time of the upgrade a new lxde wasn't available, so the
old one was deleted leaving an artifact behind still indicating
that lxde group is installed, but it is actually gone?
It is an upgrade from F24.
What if you do a dnf group remove lxde to remove any cruft left over.
Then try to do the group install again.
Stan,
This helped!
Thanks.
Kind regards
