Chen Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I installed using the howtoforge (Mandriva Free) tutorial (http://www.howtoforge.com/the_perfect_desktop_mandriva_2007_spring_free_p1) Problem is during that install they say to install GNOME (installed it due to the fact i didn't know it has such a big difference from KDE). How can i convert my Mandriva to KDE? [moved from Installing Mandriva by spinynorman] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris:b Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 * Did you set up the urpmi software sources? If not, do it now. * Click up a terminal window, and type: su urpmi task-kde-3.5.6 Log out, session: KDE, login back. Now install all QT programs you want. Just browse rpmdrake, the software installer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris:b Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 (edited) su urpmi task-3ddesktop If you have an Intel video card or an ATI card, then: MCC --> Hardware --> 3D Desktop If you have an nvidia card, make sure you have the non-free software source added, check the model of your card, and install the corresponding nvidia71xx or nvidia96xx packages. Pay attention to your kernel version. You can find out by typing: uname -r After the driver install enable these drivers: MCC --> Hardware --> Setup the graphical server More info in the MDV wiki: http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Releases/Mandriva/2007.1/Notes Edited July 1, 2007 by chris:b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
