PeterPanic Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Me again... How do I select a different login manager? A friend of mine somehow changed a config file so that I now have GDM instead of KDM which I like more. Thanks to him :-( ... I couldn't figure out which config file of MDK 9.0 I had to change to get back to KDM... The only way I found now was to uninstall the GDM package and start KDM myself... H-E-L-P... :-) Well, OK, it's not that important, but I want to know... Thanks, Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 If you go to MCC>Hardware>Display Manager Chooser you can change it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aussiedini Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 I found it easier to edit the /etc/sysconfig/desktop file. Just change the manager there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 Editing is always "easier" for people who are familiar with linux. Using the gui is what many people coming from windex are going to like. I would rather assume that someone's knowledge is limited and get them going. Believe me, people will tell you if they know more! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPanic Posted August 25, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 If you go to MCC>Hardware>Display Manager Chooser you can change it. :( I don't have a "Display Manager Chooser" in MCC>Hardware.... (Translated from German) I got: Hardware-List, Monitor, Resolution, Graphical Server Configuration, TV-Cards, Keyboard, Mouse, Printer, Scanner That's it. (I got MDK 9.0, perhaps There is this topic in 9.1 or 8...) Thanks anyway. P.S.: Changing the file worked fine... Thanks PeterPanic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPanic Posted September 5, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2003 Peter: MCC --> Hardware --> Auswahl des Anmelde-Dialogs (die Ampel!) :lol: No idea why this is in the Hardware settings ... edit oops, sorry, this is in 9.1. Did not see you got 9.0 [D] Tja, das ist ja mein Problem :-) Ich habe keine Ampel... Dann installiere ich halt doch 9.1... Nee, wie gesagt, ich habe das Textfile geändert, jetzt geht's... Aber manche solchen Dinge sind schon recht schwer rauszufinden in all den Config-Dateien und Skripten. (Super Wallpapers machst Du .. hihi... Danke...) [E] Well, that's my problem :-) I don't have any traffic lights in my MCC... So I'll install 9.1... No, well, as I said, I changed the text file, now it works... But some of those things are quite hard to find out with all those config files and scripts (Yo do wonderful wallpapers btw... hihi... Thanks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
