niti Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 (edited) I installed gnome 2.8 beside kde 3.4. How can I set to run the gdm for log on instead of the kdm? Edited April 7, 2005 by niti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kjel Oslund Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I saw somewhere as edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set the DisplayManager> setting to gdm from kdm. But there is not "displaymanager" file or folder in sysconfig folder. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The file is "/etc/sysconfig/desktop". It should contain the line: DISPLAYMANAGER=GNOME You can select the type of session you want (KDE, GNOME or other) from the GDM login display, but if you want GNOME to be the default, add the following line to /etc/sysconfig/desktop DESKTOP=GNOME Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 why the heck do you want to hack your files when you can do it with three clicks, using the mdk control center? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
