similar to: CentOS 6.2 KDE desktop with KDM - need guidance

Sorry to be so slow in responding. I've done what you suggested. I created /etc/sysconfig/desktop and entered "$DISPLAYMANAGER=KDM". I rebooted but there was no change. GDM is still being used. Any other suggestions? mw ======================== Just create the file /etc/sysconfig/desktop and put in it: DESKTOP=KDM I believe it's DESKTOP - you can dbl check /etc/X11/prefdm

After testing the beta of CentOS 5, i was a little surprised to notice that the display manager part of the prefdm file in /etc/X11 was exactly like in CentOS 4 / RHEL4 and previous versions including RH9. it reads like this (added line numbers for reference): 14 # Run preferred X display manager 15 preferred= 16 if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/desktop ]; then 17 . /etc/sysconfig/desktop 18 if [

Since CentOS 6 uses Upstart as its init system, and GDM is run from

Hello, We generally use CentOS for some servers, and so do not use a GUI interface. However, I have recently installed CentOS 6.3 onto a PC with KDE. I am familiar with KDE as I use it with Fedora for my work PC. The problem is that we would like to configure the login screen, so that it does not show the user list, that it does not allow the shutdown or reboot commands (from the login screen),

I play a game called Ultima Online.. the client runs 100% just fine when im using xfce but crashes when im using kde? nothing else has changed on the system. i do use kdm ive tried gdm as well. any ideas? i can just log out, switch session to xfce and play the game with no issues.. but i like kde..

We have a pretty standard installation of CentOS 6.4 on our workstations. We've been running into issues where kdm crashes every once in a while when someone tries to log in on the console. The only way to recover when it happens seems to be to restart kdm (kill -HUP `pgrep -f /usr/bin/kdm`) (or reboot of course) and it never seems to happen twice in a row. I am not sure where to start

After a little experimentation, I've come up with this: create a directory as a temp mount point (chmod 777) called /home.domainuser or something similar and assign the template homedir variable to it. This works for the first login, but I'm looking for advice on how I can rm -rf the whole thing to clean it up for the next user. Additionally, I noticed that it doesn't actually mount

Well, I've started to look at pam_mount and it seems it doesn't compile under RH8.0 because it's missing pam_modules.h. I've located that in the source for pam. It's found in pam-0.75-46.8.0.src.rpm. The error I get is during the configure part: checking for security/pam_modules.h... no configure: error: You are missing security/pam_modules.h I'm not so good with

Hello, I'm new to the list but I've been following it since its inception. First of all sorry for the length of this post, if you're not a Fedora user just skip it. I've been building Compiz packages since Fedora Core 5 came out (Xgl only) and updating since then with all the new stuff, AIGLX and whatever. I use them on a very large range of hardware. Attached are my source rpm

Hello Folks, I'm trying to configure AD (mixed Samba4 and Windows2008R2 DC's) for kerberized NFS (NFSv4). Our server is CentOS 6.4 (with Samba 4.1.0)f and our clients are Fedora 19. Console sessions work fine and the user's home directory mounts fine with AutoFS. But sessions initiated with GDM, KDM, or even SSHD fail to mount the user's home directory. We can get an SSH
