KDE Working

waynevnc · 01-13-2005, 03:04 PM

Can someone please tell me how I can get KDE working on Debian. I'm sorta new to Linux and trying to learn it. I have just install UserLinux on a Micron TransPort Trek 2 laptop. It installed just fine with no problems. But, now I would like to get a GUI interface running and don't know how to do it.

Appreciate any help you can give,
Thanks
Wayne

I haven't tried userlinux, but if you have apt configured with standard Debian repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list, you can install kde with:

Code:

apt-get update
apt-get install kde

You should probably also install the kdm login manager:

Code:

apt-get install kdm

More details can be found on the Debian KDE wiki:http://wiki.debian.net/?DebianKDE
