Hi all,
I have kde 3.3.0 running on my Suse 9.1 box, and typing in my username and password in kdm only starts up a terminal window (like failsafe mode). To start kde, i have to run startkde. Could anybody provide any pointers as to launching kde automatically?
Hi-
when KDM comes up, there should be a button to the right of the login button where you can choose session type. MAke sure it is set to use KDE. Did you have any trouble before upgrading to 3.3?
I have the same problem.
After login, there's only one xterm without window-decoration, choosing another session-type has no effect.
I have Debian Sid.
Originally posted by Tuvok If you can start kde, go to KControl (Kde Control Center), go to System Administration, go to Session and check if you got kde entry.
I don't have a sessions entry, neither in the System Administration Entry, nor in the Login Manager.
Something else i noticed, in the login manager, changing the background has no effect on kdm - perhaps it is writing to the wrong file?
