How to switch to kde instead of gnome as default. Debian woody
I am quite new ( a few days linux)
But suprise suprise now when i start up i come in a screen Gnome desktop manager where i can log in This happened after succesfully installed the x system and invoking the command #startx Now this graphic log in screen comes up imediately after booting But i would like to havve kde instead of gnome There is no xwmconfig in debian. I looked in the rc directories where startups are managed but there are so many directories and there in so many files that i cannot oversee it anymore |
Hi
Open a terminal Login as root Type the following dpkg-reconfigure gdm Select kdm When you next reboot your computer login manager will be kde. sls |
rc
About the rc directories:
- all directories contain symlinks to /etc/init.d/ - The default runlevel is 2 in Debian (/etc/rc2.d) - Symlinks starting with a S are started at that runlevel, symlinks starting with a K are stopped/not started at that runlevel. - rcS contains essential services that are allways run at boot. - update-rc.d is used to manipulate the symlinks. Another usefull tool to look into is update-alternatives. One of it's functions is switching the default for startx. |
