 |
|
Im fairly new to linux. I recentally switched to Blag 30k Beta (29999.50000). At first I updated my system. Then i Installed KDE using Synaptic. But now how do I set KDE as the default Destktop system?
Thanks.

At the login screen, you can choose "Session" across the top. It should allow you to make it your default desktop (for that user).

doesnt let me. It has 5 options, Like 1. Gnome, 2. Default Desktop.. 3. KDE, etc... The Default Desktop is Gnome, but it doesnt give me an option to set default.

Well, if you select KDE and log in, doesn't it then say "hey, do you want to make it default?"

In /etc/X11/dm/Sessions/default.desktop,
change this line:
to:
I'm pretty sure that it's startkde, but I'm not sure. It's whatever command that can be used to start kde...you better double check.

Or perhaps the `switchdesk` command. Under Preferences/More Preferences. If you don't have it, you can install it:
| Code: | apt-get update
apt-get install switchdesk |

You can manually edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop to say "GNOME" or "KDE" or whatever. That works for me when changing between the two.

Also as Jeff said switchdesk makes it all so much easier and I only use the above when i can't be bothered to move the mouse.

Open Konsole and type "switchdesk kde". Normally next you log in the default desktop will be kde.
