Hi!

I have Fedora 23 installed on a [Lenovo
E540](http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/e-series/e540/#tab-te...
with the default Gnome 3 Desktop Environment. I was thinking of trying
multiple Desktop Environments, so that I might see what are thee new
breakthroughs. Basically I'm using Gnome for a long time.
What better way to try a new interface then just installing it along
Gnome 3? So I've installed `KDE` using `dnf groupinstall "KDE Plasma
Workspaces"` I was very surprised to find out that after the reboot
`KDE` wold not work ...
What happened is that when I chose to log into `KDE` my screens changes
and the Desktop Background appears the just in a few second I'm back to
the log in screen. No matter how many restarts or how many times i try
the result is the same.
* Is the first time I tried to have multiple Desktop Environments on
Fedora, is this something that happens often or is it because of fedora 23?
* And why wold this happen, all seems very straightforwards.
* Should I make a [
bug](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/) report and what
should I write in it?
* What is your experience in having multiple desktop environments on
Fedora?
I have had no issues to add additional DEs. I have started with only GNOME and added KDE
and I've started with only KDE and added GNOME. You can try the following to see if
any
errors are showing.
1. Make sure the ConsoleKit package is installed. If not, install it.
2. Create a ~/.xinitrc which contains
ck-launch-session dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde
3. Reboot your system to runlevel 3
4. Login from the console and issue "startx".
I've not encountered the issue you're seeing. What I would do is boot the system
to
runlevel 3 then login and see what happens when you use the command "
