Gentoo 2004.3-r1 installed. How DO i start KDE at boot?
as the title says, i have installed Gentoo, and now I need to know how to start up KDE at boot instead of getting a console and having to "startx" myself.
Thanks. |
If you bother to read the KDE, it already tells you how to. Anyway, here it is...
rc-update add xdm default Then, edit /etc/rc.conf and add these two lines at the bottom of it, assuming that you have installed KDE version 3.3.2! If not sure about the name, look in /etc/X11/Sessions... XSESSION="kde-3.3.2" DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" Reboot and enjoy the GUI login screen. ;) y2k |
Run the command "rc-update add xdm default".
If you are a KDE user you probably want to run kdm. To have xdm executed edit /etc/rc.conf and set DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm". EDIT: Just to clarify... regardless of the display manager you run "rc-update add xdm default". The xdm startup script will choose a display manager based on the DISPLAYMANAGER variable in /etc/rc.conf. This is a little confusing but it is the way it is. |
ok, thanks, what is the entrance option?
and will this allow me to boot to other GUI's? |
