How to start KDE automaticly?

greentooth · 06-24-2005, 01:41 PM

I need to start automaticly KDE when I turn on my computer, how?
Also I need to do that as a user, not root.
I guess that I must give a user rights to do that but also don't know how to do that.
So that meens that somehow I should tell Linux to automaticly logs in as a user at startup and run command kdm. How do I do all that?
Anyone?
Thnx

# xwmconfig

choose kde as your default manager.

edit /etc/inittab file and change default run level from 3 to 4.

I don't remember the exact line in the file.

To log straight into KDE without having to log in with kdm, start Kcontrol -> System Administration -> Login Manager -> Convenience -> Enable Auto-Login and select the user you wish to automatically login when the system starts. Obviously you have to first do what tuxrules suggested.
