Default desktop environment in fedora 15
Hai to all
Recently I have installed fedora 15 in my machine , every thing gone well. then i changed graphical login to command line login , after reboot i logged in via command mode , every thing is ok ..... my request is that If i give 'startx 'command . the gnome desktop is displaying by default. and i want to use lxde instead of gnome . because my machine is little bit outdated .. what configuration files do i have to change if i want to use lxde instead of gnome by default.. thanks in advance |
Have you installed lxde? You use 'startx' to launch GUI? Then try,
Code:
echo "exec startlxde" > .xinitrc |
thanks for your quick response
yes !!! . I have already installed lxde desktop during f15 installation . but my question is that where i have to execute the above code ? in which file ? .. |
The above code would be executed your console session. On my system, it appears that /etc/sysconfig/desktop holds the required configuration info:
Code:
/etc/sysconfig$ cat desktop |

I am using fedora 15 . There is no such hidden file named .xinitrc . I found this by executing
the following commands, [asif@asif.com]$ pwd /home/asif [asif@asif.com]$ ls -a Do I have to create a new one ? |
The .xinitrc file will not be there. We need to create it. The command I gave before not only puts the line 'exec startlxde' into .xinitrc file, it will also _create_ a file by that name, if it does not already exits.
