similar to: KDE as default, and looking up CentOS on the web.

On my laptop, I have not been able to get KDE to run; I always get gnome. I installed selecting KDE, and I tried yum groupinstall, which appeared to work, but I still get gnome running. BTW, I boot to level 3, and run startx. Thanks for your suggestions. Mike.

I learned from Anne that if I boot to level 5, after I enter the username, can select Gnome or KDE. I note that the default is always Gnome. How can I make the default KDE? How can I get KDE with startx after booting to level 3? Thanks, Mike.

* switchdesk kde command does not work. WHat is an easy wath to switch to / from kde / gnome? Thanks -J * -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20070424/eeb26013/attachment-0003.html>

I've been trying, unsuccessfully, to log in on the KDE forums on the KDE web site. Unfortunately, despite having registered, my account is not "activated", and I can't post threads. I am also not able to email the forum administrator, as one ironically has to be an activated member to do so. I've also noticed that trying to search their forums results in a MySQL error.

Simple question that I appear to be missing the answer to, how do I specify the default desktop? I know I am probably going to kick myself when I find out but the guy I work with and I just can't seem to find it. :( Thanks Chris

This was a problem I had a while back. I lost the "Preferences" menu item in my "Applications" menu in Gnome. After much discussion, the following commands got my "Preferences" menu item back, along with all the applications inside of it: rpm -e redhat-artwork redhat-menus --nodeps --allmatches yum install redhat-artwork redhat-menus But... For some reason it

Okay, I experimented with both KDE and Gnome, and decided I'd rather use Gnome. After making this decision, I wanted to remove KDE, because I like to keep my hard drive as lean as possible. I accomplished this, or so I thought, by running: # yum groupremove "KDE (K Desktop Environment)". It seemed to work. Removed a whole bunch 'o stuff. Okay, but then I wanted to install k3B,

Can I define a default session for each user seperately? Or do they compulsorily have to follow the Default system session. If this can be done, tell me what all files need to be edited. -- "No-one dies a virgin. Life screws everyone."

I'm trying to install themes for KDE. In doing so, I came across the following web site which seems to have the themes I want as RPMs: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/17/dept/3/idg/User+Interface_Desktop The theme I want is called "Thinkeramik", and it has the following versions, for various Red Hat builds: thinkeramik-3.2.1-1.0.el3.kde.i386.rpm RedHat EL 3

This is one of those questions that seems to be soo obvious to people that no one feels the need to have an explanation anywhere. I've been looking around the net for ages, and I can't figure out what, on Linux, is actually a program. I've downloaded OpenOffice 1.9 Beta, and would like to run it. I go to the /opt/openoffice.org1.9.122/program/ directory and... then what? What do

i'm using samba 2.2.5 and mandrake 8.5 as a pdc for test. Whenever i create a trust account PC123$ for a machine to login it appears as user in the KDE interface, i know its not samba specific but if i have 100 users thats a lot of $ users on the login list!

just to let you know I posted a frontend to ffmpeg2theora and mencoder using the latest kommander. It's still in early developement but it'll get more feature with the time hopefully :) http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=17831 Pat __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I was playing around with Nvu, and discovered it has serious problems. Mainly that it reformats one's code regardless of whether or not one selects the "Don't reformat code" option. I know there are a few HTML editors out there, so I'm not asking if they exist. What I'm wondering if there are those on this list who may have a recommendation for one they like and why.

PHP and MySQL seem to working on my CentOS installation. I'd like to install phpMyAdmin as well, so I downloaded the necessary files from phpMyAdmin's homepage and copied them to /var/www/html... ... except that's where the process stopped. My regular user account doesn't have permission to write into the /var/www/html folder. Should I just chmod the folder to 777? Is there a

My desktop environment has become a little chaotic, and, long story short, I would like to uninstall KDE and Gnome, and then reinstall Gnome. (I want to remove KDE for the time being because I just don't think I want it taking up space on my hard drive). The thing is, I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. For instance, I want to make sure I don't lose settings in

I've got it so that I can enable Japanese input into an application by typing the following at a command prompt (with FireFox, for example): [dave at localhost ~]$ kinput2 -canna & [1] 10631 [dave at localhost ~]$ XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2' LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8 firefox However, I would rather not have to type in all that craziness each time I want to start an application. Further,

Japanese input - the final frontier. This is the last obstacle before I can work completely within Centos and be free of Windows. But it's still not working. To cut to the chase, in my quest to get Japanese working, I came across the following: https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-i18n-list/2004-November/msg00030.html ... where someone says: "You need to have httx (htt_xbe) running
