brian w. Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I know that when I installed Mandriva 2006 that I programed 2 desktops (KDE & GNOME), and my computer also shows that I have 2 desktops. On startup, KDE is the default desktop. I can't for the life of me figure out how to switch over to the GNOME desktop. How do I do this?

ilia_kr Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 When you are booting, chose the desktop you want from your login manager. You should find it under 'sessions' menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 If you have auto-login enabled, disable it as it bypasses the login manager with the desktop selection menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustpuppy Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 If you just want to go into Gnome once, choose "logout" from the star menu, then "end current session", then at the login screen choose "gnome" under the "session" tab. If you want to change it permanently, go into the mcc, "boot", then "enable autologin". That gives you a choice of login sessions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian w. Posted August 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Great! Thanks to all. I do you my system set on "auto login". Maybe I'll try the "Lock Session, and start new one" prompt in the star menu - or maybe I'll just disable the auto login. Bro Bri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
