      Installing GNOME on openEuler

      GNOME is a desktop environment for Unix-like operating systems. As the officially released desktop of GNU Project, GNOME provides a comprehensive, easy-to-use, and user-friendly desktop environment for application usage and development.

      For users, GNOME is a suite that integrates the desktop environment and applications. For developers, GNOME is an application development framework, consisting of a large number of function libraries. Applications written in GNOME can run properly even if users do not run the GNOME desktop environment.

      GNOME includes basic software such as the file manager, app store, and text editor, and advanced applications and tools such as system sampling analysis, system logs, software engineering IDE, web browser, simple VM monitor, and developer document browser.

      You are advised to create an administrator during the installation.

      1. Download the openEuler ISO image, install the system, and update the software source. The Everything and EPOL sources need to be configured. The following command is used to install GNOME in minimum installation mode.

        sudo dnf update
        
      2. Install font libraries.

        sudo dnf install dejavu-fonts liberation-fonts gnu-*-fonts google-*-fonts
        
      3. Install Xorg.

        sudo dnf install xorg-*
        

        In this case, many unnecessary packages may be installed. You can run the following commands to install the required Xorg packages:

        sudo dnf install xorg-x11-apps xorg-x11-drivers xorg-x11-drv-ati \

      5. Enable GNOME Display Manager (GDM).

        sudo systemctl enable gdm
        
      6. Set the default login mode to GUI.

        sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
        

        Reboot the device for configuration verification.

        sudo reboot
        
      7. If GDM cannot work:

      Disable GDM if it is installed by default.

      sudo systemctl disable gdm
      

      Install LightDM instead.

      sudo dnf install lightdm lightdm-gtk
      

      Set the default desktop to GNOME as the root user.

      echo 'user-session=gnome' >> /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/60-lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
      

      Enable LightDM.

      sudo systemctl enable lightdm
      

      Set the default login mode to GUI.

      sudo systemctl set-default graphical.target
      

      Reboot the device for configuration verification.

      sudo reboot
