Going to try:
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
will report back.
The current debian installer kept hanging so I thought Id use Knoppix since it always works for me.
I installed Knoppix 6.0.1 to HD and modified sources.list to upgrade to Debian Testing.
How do I switch to gdm and gnome instead of lde and auto login?
I get lost looking at inittab and knoppix-startx.
Aloha, Eric
Going to try:
update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
will report back.
Despite the following changes, LDE starts automatically and logs in user knoppix.
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-window-manager
There are 2 alternatives which provide `x-window-manager'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
+ 1 /usr/bin/openbox
* 2 /usr/bin/metacity
Press enter to keep the default[*], or type selection number: ^C
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ sudo update-alternatives --config x-session-manager
There are 3 alternatives which provide `x-session-manager'.
Selection Alternative
-----------------------------------------------
1 /usr/bin/openbox-session
+ 2 /usr/bin/startlxde
* 3 /usr/bin/gnome-session
actually, I got as far as you, trying to install kde.Originally Posted by nicholse
Then I investigated some further. I'm pretty much a newb to all of linux, but from what I gathered, knoppix uses different boot scripts than debian, and therefore it ignores the update-alternatives thing.
The actual line that controls the desktop that starts is in /etc/init.d/knoppix-startx
It's the line that says Session='lxde'
I tried changing that to kde and it worked. I wonder if it works iif I write kdm there...
