similar to: CentOS 6, KDE 4: bad DNS traffic

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.

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.

HI LIst; What version of KDE is included in the latest version of CentOS ? Also, is there a way to get KDE4 in CentOS ? If so, Can I have both KDE3.x and KDE4 installed and switch back and forth between the 2 versions if needed ? Thanks in advance... /Kevin

Hi, I'm currently busy tweaking KDE 4.14 on CentOS 7 to my needs. I want to use it as a base for an enterprise class desktop. In my humble opinion, CentOS' default KDE configuration is not very usable, so I created a default user profile that looks more like what openSUSE looked like a few years back. Here's the little script I'm using to install the various configuration files

Listmates, Woking with compiz 8.2 on kde 4.3 beta 2 on Archlinux, the plasma "kicker" pager widget does not work correctly after compiz 8.2 is started. Before compiz is started you see the 4 small desktop representations stacked 2x2. After you start compiz, the panel only shows a single large pane 'Desktop 1' no matter what desktop you are on. The strange part is that

On my newly installed CentOS 6 I am running KDE (I think; I selected it in the setup, but how would I know?). It has three default icons: Computer; Root's Home; Trash. I do not see them in /root/Desktop. How can I remove them? Thanks, Mike.

Hello, I started writing a KPart for swfdec so that it will work nicely in Konqueror. Currently it can load various movies using swfdec's built in loader and render them. Although swfdec's loader can only handle local URLs, KPart provides a mechanism to download movies to temporary local files if the part doesn't explicitly support non-local URLs. That works for simple movies, but I

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

Hi Compiz developers, as you might know KDE will transition to git somewhen next week. This gives some new possibilities for the Compiz community, too. Let me first describe the current situation and the problems with it: Compiz and KDE releases are out of sync. We are currently more and more integrating features from the desktop shell into the window manager. In difference to other desktop

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,

So I d/l gqview from where I found the rpm, and installed it. It didn't show in my kde menu, so I did something *really* dumb: I ran the kde menu updater. Now I can't lock my screen. Nothing at all happens. Nothing shows in .xsession-errors, nothing shows in /var/log/messages. I restored all of .kde/share from last night's backup... and the screensaver still doesn't go, and

Hi, New to Kubuntu and Linux, I'm looking for a syntax-enabled text editor with which I could easily edit Asterisk config files. It seems Kate provide this type of service but I couldn't find anything specific to Asterisk (unlike vim) What's your advice ?

Hi, I'm still new in linux world and CentOS is my 2nd linux desktop I ever used ( have used it for month now, before using Ubuntu for 2 days ), so please gave me a little favor on it :) What I need to do is to have my virtual console that can also run gnome or kde, so I can have different windows on different virtual console. After googling, I found the qingy that just fit for my need. I

I am running CentOS 4.2 with KDE 3.5.1 from kde-redhat.org. I am not able to configure the panels: control center -> desktop -> panels comes up, but is empty. Only the frame and the buttons on the bottom show. KDE 3.5.1 on Kubuntu does not have that problem. Has anyone that same problem? -- Enrico Indiogine Parasol Laboratory Texas A&M University enricoi at cs.tamu.edu hindiogine

Hi, being a total newbie in shellscripting and similar stuff, I am suffering from a brain freeze around the following problem: * I need to print (or transfer otherwise) to a WinNT box; * the files are send from inside a shellscript; * the script gets the filename on the commandline when started; * so the only knows it works on "$1"; * the problem is, that the original filename needs to

I just changed my window manager from the default to kde. I'd like to get the weather applet back. What is the name of it and how do I restore it under kde? Thanks. Scott

Hi I recently upgraded to Kubuntu 8.10 with KDE4. Now, the drag & drop ability to wine applications doesn't work anymore. For example: If i drag-and-drop a file from konqueror or dolphin ton winamp/peazip/etc., it opens two files with corrupted names each. Does anyone have the same problems as I? Thxs :-)
