Guest mandrak Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 My mandriva 2008 system froze, and when I rebooted I found I have lost the graphical log in screen that let me change session type from KDE 3.5 to KDE 4, etc. I am now stuck in KDE 4 when I startx from the command line. What file do I edit to change my default window manager back to KDE 3.5? KDE 4 was just on there to look at it, and its pretty useless. It also has no access to my 3.5 desktop, etc. thanks!

Ixthusdan Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Yes, kde4 is rather flaky. Try going into MCC and go into the section which selects desktop managers. Make the selection for kdm and save. If it is already selecter, deselect it and reselect it again. Save, close hit ctrl-alt backspace. You should have kdm back up again.

scarecrow Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 (edited) KDE 4.0.1 is quite nice AND usable. But ***STILL*** you should not run it as the same user which is running KDE3 as default- chances you will bork your user settings are great. Just create a new user under which you will log in KDE 4.X, until switching between KDE versions becomes 100% safe.
