Guest omar Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Hi all: I am a newbie, and this is the first time I have been able to compile anything successfully. Yoohoo. :D KDE 3.1 took 8 hours and compiled successfully. I used Konstruct to do the downloading and compiling. Mandrake 9.0 P4, 2.0GHz, 256MBs RAM My questions: 1- At the end of the install KDE asked me to add /home/omar/kde3.1 into my path. I did set the path in /.bash_profile, and it shows up when I do echo $PATH in a terminal. Do I need to add the path (or any other path) anywhere else? 2- How do I add KDE into the list of Desktop managers in Mandrake, so I can choose it when logon window comes after reboot? Your help will be appreciated. Thanks, Omar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest omar Posted February 3, 2003 Report Share Posted February 3, 2003 Can anyone please answer this one? Any help will be appreciated. THanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzylizard Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Well, First question: No. As long as it shows up in your path when you do echo $PATH you do not need to enter it anywhere else. As for the other question, I am not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 Boot into console mode first. Launch kde by typing KDE3 (should work) Go to kde control center>system>login manager Push administration mode button and enter pass word Go to sessions>session types and add kde3 That should do it. When you boot x, all should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 See if there's a /usr/bin/startkde3. If so, create a /etc/X11/wmsession.d/0?KDE3 that's like the 01KDE, except change the EXEC=, and SCRIPT:exec to /usr/bin/startkde3, and NAME= to KDE3. or run startkde3 from init 3. 01KDE NAME=KDEICON=kde-wmsession.xpm DESC=The K Desktop Environment EXEC=/usr/bin/startkde SCRIPT: exec /usr/bin/startkde 0?KDE3 NAME=KDE3ICON=kde-wmsession.xpm DESC=The K Desktop Environment EXEC=/usr/bin/startkde3 SCRIPT: exec /usr/bin/startkde3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wessellj Posted February 6, 2003 Report Share Posted February 6, 2003 Nice looking app, Konstruct. I noticed that using it without specifying an install location will install it into ~/kde3.1/ (that's in my /home/<my user directory> directory I assme?), but I already have KDE 3.0.5a and want to upgrade it. Where would I tell it to install for that? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
