Accidentally caused openSuSE v11.1 to switch from KDE3 to KDE4
I have never installed KDE4 on this machine, which has been running KDE3 on openSuSE v11.1 64bit.
Last night I evidently did something, I do not know what, that caused the machine to boot this morning to a KDE4.1 desktop. I do not know how to return to the use of KDE3, and thereby to be able to run my KDE3 apps and access my data through them. Or, alternately, to get the KDE4 desktop to run the KDE3 apps. I would be very grateful for assistance. hanasi |

KDE3 can be started from here
Code:
$ /opt/kde3/bin/startkde |

$DISPLAY is not set or cannot connect to the X server. |

In general, the default for the chooser is to give you (you = the user that you select, and therefore the GUI can't be selected before the user is selected) is to use the GUI that the particular user used on their last log in. If you do accidentally change things here, it will stay (should stay, anyway) the same until you change it. To change it, select the user and then check the bottom of the screen. Quote:

I can't add anything that hasn't been already said above. Only add one bit: kde3 is still there, otherwise, this: Code:
$ /opt/kde3/bin/startkde |
I did it too
The way it happened to me was when I selected a package that requires the KDE4 libraries. Find the package you installed prior to the KDE change, and remove it. There may be an older version of that package that uses the KDE3 libraries. You have to be careful and watch the dependencies that are required.
