Are you deliberately booting into a command line interface then separately starting a graphical user interface for a reason, or habit? If you installed an XFCE spin, I'd expect it to just work. But, do you get anywhere doing "startxfce4" instead of "startx"? NB: I haven't used XFCE for a very long time, I found it way too primitive back then, so I've not kept up with it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.76.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Aug 10 16:21:17 UTC 2022 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
