kde on my pixelbook go
I installed the beta version of linux and then I installed Kde desktop on my pixelbook go. It won't load the desktop I can run some programs like Discover etc. But the actual desktop will not load. I am new to linux. I tried uninstalling it by uninstalling each program but some would not uninstall. Could someone please help me.
Thanks Linda |

You should have mentioned that in your OP - most of us here run a Linux distro natively, not propped onto another OS. Quote:
Code:
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xinitrc Code:
cp /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc ~/.xsessionrc Then try to start the GUI with Code:
startx |
well it didn't fix the problem but i got a step farther. Hope the you know what to do with the outcome. I sending to more pics of what it says on the two commands you got me to try. Thank you so much for your patients.

B) The last message means that maybe you're already running a GUI - you just want to switch to KDE? I think it's high time you give us a full description of what you're trying to achieve there, incl. links to what you installed, where you got those instructions from etc. |
sorry i sent the wrong pic. when I ran the "cp" commands they were both fine. the startkde command was command not found and you saw what the startx command said. What is am trying to do is the get KDE desktop to run. how do i clean it up so that it will work? is it possible to get it up and running and if so how. the only thing i can think of is that i started with a chromebook duet and it was to slow so i bought the pixelbook go chromebook with much better specs, intel I7, 16gb of ram and 256 ssd drive, because i thought that was the problem. I am using the same email address to run linux as i used on duet. could this be the problem? if so how do i fix it?
i hope you have a better understanding of what is going on thanks for taking the time to help me linda |
Did you install kde at all? How?

Hi. Pan64
I installed by typing : sudo apt-get install task-kde-desktop |
