Hi techhost,
this is very simple - just rightclick on the desktop and choose "Logout <username>" from the context menu. The click on the Ok button in the small dialog box and you're off your KDE. Kind regards, sbogus |
and this will drop me back to text mode?
|
Yes. So will ctrl+alt+backspace or opening a terminal window and typing "telinit 3" (but don't do that,it'll log you out too.
You'd only stay in GUI if you have a desktop manager running like KDM, GDM, or XDM, which you don't. |
cool thanks alot
|
hey, when i use
startx i boot into my gnome desktop.. how do i boot into KDE? |

command : which kde
answer : locationofkde kde launch : startx /kdelocation/startkde --:0 which startkde instead of which kde |
ahimsel08, type in this:
Code:
ls -l /usr Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 72 Mar 22 10:38 kde Later :D :D :D :D |
That command may execute if its in your .xinitrc file. See if you have one in your home directory (ls -a). Edit it by adding "exec startkde" and save. That may work.
|
nope, no kde when doing that command
