Mandrake Linux 9.1 - GUI Questions
Please help me!.
I have just installed mandrake linux 9.1 and login as normal and i get my user command $. If I type KDE into it I will load KDE. When i installed i said for it to install gnome as well. Is there an option or command to switch to gnome. Regards :Pengy: :confused: |
try "startgnome"
I think that should work.......... if KDE is starting, you've evidentally got X configured correctly, but run "/usr/X11R6/bin/xf86config" while root at the command prompt to be sure |
It says:
(gnome-sesion:2270): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: Have you got any ideas on what this means? |
you can also do this on the command line:
/usr/sbin/chksession -l that will list the available sessions (windowmanagers) Then you can use startx to start one using one of them (case and spelling matters) such as: startx Gnome or startx icewm or startx failsafe. |
OK, I'm just guessing here........ once you've got KDE started, I assume everything loads correctly?? No faults, KDE starts completely etc??
|
Captain,
Thanks, didn't know about that command |
Yes KDE loads fine no probs but i just want to know for future reference how to access the other GUI's
