starting BLFS in GUI mode by default
 
I have successfully build a running BLFS system..following the book version 6.1

How to make it deault start in GUI..i have use KDE desktop manager..

and yes changing the file /etc/inittab to runlevel 5 will give a xterm server. Not the GUI as given by using the startx command in the text mode startup

The BOOK says
Quote:
Back up your existing ~/.xinitrc file and create a new .xinitrc file to start KDE
by running
Code:
echo "exec startkde" > ~/.xinitrc
Follow the book, the book is good.

Good luck!!!

Sir..
thanks for the quick reply !!

But actually i did try to do that..but wasnt able to get what i want..
whenever i logon i want default startup as KDE GUI environment(the one which we get when we use startx command in text mode)

The above said solution wasnt able to fulfill that requirement in the BLFS which i build !!
i did follow the book honestly and with precautions But anyways if i committed any mistake I will really appreciate if someone help me to rectify it !!


thank u !!

Look at the "setting up xdm" section. Replace xdm with kdm.
Does that work?
And if everything stuffs up and you cant boot, boot the lfs kernel with "single" as a parameter and undo the changes ;)
