Hi Kay, if you want to have kde start at bootup, you usually run kdm as displaymanager, if you want to have gnome start at bootup, you usually run gdm as display manager
you cannot have both at same time you can write a program that lets you choose which one to run here is how i do that : #!/bin/bash cd / TMP=/tmp/ChooseDisplaymanager.out if [[ -e $TMP ]] ; then rm $TMP ; fi whiptail --title "Choose DisplayManager" --menu "" 12 30 5 \ g gnome k kde s shell x [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2>$TMP DDM=`cat $TMP` rm $TMP if [[ $DDM == "x" ]] ; then if [[ -e /home/.Xauthority ]] ; then rm /home/.Xauthority ; fi ln -s /home/xuser/.Xauthority /home/.Xauthority # dont background next command ! it 'll fail ! sudo -u xuser -H startx -- -bpp 16 elif [[ $DDM == "8" ]] ; then if [[ -e /home/.Xauthority ]] ; then rm /home/.Xauthority ; fi ln -s /home/xuser/.Xauthority /home/.Xauthority # dont background next command ! it 'll fail ! sudo -u xuser -H startx -- -bpp 8 elif [[ $DDM == "k" ]] ; then echo "/usr/bin/kdm" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager if [[ -e /home/.Xauthority ]] ; then rm /home/.Xauthority ; fi ln -s /home/kuser/.Xauthority /home/.Xauthority /usr/bin/kdm echo "none" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager elif [[ $DDM == "g" ]] ; then echo "/usr/bin/gdm" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager if [[ -e /home/.Xauthority ]] ; then rm /home/.Xauthority ; fi ln -s /home/guser/.Xauthority /home/.Xauthority /usr/bin/gdm echo "none" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager fi it is a hack, but it works it needs to be run from /etc/rc* before /etc/init.d/kdm (or gdm or xdm) are being called, because they use value of defaultdisplaymanager. if you only want kde to always run, then simply change /etc/X11/default-display-manager hope this helps, Siward -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
