Fresh CentOS 7, patched, added repos for EPEL, NUX, whatever else was
listed. Accidentally installed "trinity-tdebase" first. Pulled all
those packaged and then installed "trinity-desktop-all".
"systemctl disable gdm.service" worked and kdm/xdm failed (likely
because I don't have those installed) but this fails:
systemctl enable tdm.service
Failed to execute operation: Access denied
Adding -f to the end doesn't seem to make a difference. Moderate
googling is not helping! I've rebooted several times with no apparent
effect.
Since it behaves identically when I try tdm.service as it does when I
try xdm or kdm, is it possible that I'm missing a step somewhere?
This system was Ubuntu+TDE and while I've been fiddling with
RHEL/CentOS for ages, CentOS and it's systemctl are still new to me.
Never was a Fedora person.

GDM works, TDM does not:
[root@toto system]# systemctl enable gdm.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service to
/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service.
Since there is a /usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service and since there
is NO tdm.service, can I assume the installation broke? Or that I
missed a step? 'yum provides tdm.service' says no matches found ...
[root@toto system]# systemctl status gdm.service
* gdm.service - GNOME Display Manager
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/gdm.service; disabled;
vendor preset: enabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
[root@toto system]# systemctl status tdm.service
Unit tdm.service could not be found.

OK, so SElinux is in the way. Not worried so much about that as the
new error message - there doesn't appear to be a tdm.service file for
systemctl to link to.

Hello,
the "trinity-tdm" RPM package is probably not installed correctly on
your computer.
Try to reinstall it with selinux disabled:
yum install trinity-tdm
or
yum reinstall trinity-tdm

Google tells me that "you are the man" is "tu es l'homme", but
...
that doesn't really seem right.
[root@toto log]# yum install trinity-tdm
<blah, blah>
Installed:
trinity-tdm.x86_64 0:14.0.4-1.el7
Complete!
[root@toto log]# systemctl enable tdm.service
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/display-manager.service to
/usr/lib/systemd/system/tdm.service.
All that is left is to get my 3 displays to cooperate (this has long
been an issue).
MERCI FRANCOIS!!!
