Hi All - I am switching over to a new desktop which has FC24 already installed on it. I am trying to get KDE installed and working. The first thing I tried (from the Fedora KDE wiki) was "dnf install @kde-desktop", but it said there was nothing to do:
... Last metadata expiration check: 1:49:36 ago on Mon Nov 28 09:39:00 2016. Group 'KDE' is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete!
After some googling, I then successfully did "yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces", but there was still no KDE option in the session menu after logging out. I have tried various things since, including: yum install kdebase-workspace yum install kdm systemctl enable gdm systemctl enable kdm
But the problem persists. I am admittedly shotgunning here, but I am not sure what else to do. Any help appreciated..
Thanks, Tom
Thanks Patrick, I followed your steps and this time got a dropdown menu to choose the session instead of the "gear". But KDE was still not listed as an option..

because it's called "Plasma" - complain upstream for their bikeshedding-games every few years

FYI, you can simply use one systemctl command....
systemctl --force enable sddm
--force or -f when used with enable overwrites any existing conflicting symlinks.
Plasma is only added to gdm "gear" after cold boot. Logout did not work for me.

well, i doubt that "systemcrl restart display-manager" would not do the same - when something is not require on Linux then a cold boot for tivial changes
