FC3 defaults to safe session
 

Every time I boot FC3, it goes into a safe session. I have to log out, choose Session menu and check KDE instead of default session. Is Safe selected as default, or is there some problem I don't know about? It goes into KDE readily when I select it, but I can't find any place that a default session is selected.

try this:

switchdesk KDE

i had the same problem and can't remember how i fixed it! but try that!

default session not kde
 

I am having the same problem, switchdesk didn't help.

What does /etc/sysconfig/desktop have in it?

Mine has DESKTOP="GNOME"

DESKTOP="KDE" should work.

re FC3 default session resolved
 

finally got this resolved. changing /etc/sysconfig/desktop file didn't help (don't know why not)
switchdesk KDE didn't help either, however I ran "switchdesk" w/o any command tail and it reported :

burlen@quaoar:~$ switchdesk
Red Hat Linux switchdesk 4.0

Please install the switchdesk-gui package or use
switchdesk desktopname.

So from the FC3 cd's I installed the switchdesk-gui package, and from the switchdesk-gui I was able to configure KDE instead of failsafe terminal.

FC3 has some minor but very annoying little bugs!
