I have some question that i cant find answers to anyware

1) What is the command to switch desktops
2) what in KDE helps you customize aspects of KDE
3) The Deafult shell for a user created by the root is what?


If anyone can help thanks in advance

What distribution are you using?

For KDE options, there are various things in the menus--what exactly do you want to change?

#3: Do you mean what default shell will be assigned when creating a new user? (I'm looking, but can't find it...)

Im useingRed Hat FC6

For KDE i need to know how to customize the desktop, background icons and fonts

I think so the question reads THe defult shell for a user created by the root?

For the desktops, do you mean the virtual desktops, or between KDE and Gnome? For switching between KDE and Gnome, I think you will have to restart X (Ctrl + Backspace) and then when you have to sign in again, you should see at the bottom of that screen a choice of desktops, KDE or Gnome (if you installed both).

If you want to change the background image (wallpaper), right click and click on Configure Desktop. For changing colors, you have to go to your Control Center and go for the Appearance and Themes tab.

I'm using SuSE 10.0 so where you find stuff may vary.

"The question reads..."-----Sounds like maybe a homework sheet. What class are you taking and what references are they using?

I found it!!! Do "man useradd"

it is homework i did most of it myself just haveing some trouble with it the book we are useing is A practical Guide to Red Hat Linux feddora Core and red hat enterprise linux

what is man useradd for sorry

btw thanks for the help

Open a terminal and type "man useradd" (without the quotes) It will answer your question about the default shell when creating new users.

You will sometimes get flak here when asking homework questions....I always help if it is obvious the student is trying (and responds to clarification questions). Good luck...

I C thanks for the info...but the only bad thing is i dont have it installed on my home computer we have removeable HD but thanks ill try it when i have class next thanks alot man

You can also find the man pages online---just Google for "Linux man pages" or for the actual command.

(I found the useradd thing with a Google search using "default shell new user Linux")

Thanks alot man....since i stated useing Linux i find it so much better than windows once you learn the commands and stuff but there are so many commands you have to remember
