Hello all, I don't have his message in front of me, but have just benefited greatly from the message from JLK above on the order in which to install the rpms (in my case the 6.4 ones). I had already installed the 1.94 beta, and upgraded in JLK's order using rpm -Uvh. I think ksupp2.rpm also needed --force to overcome a trivial documentation clash. Then ran SuSEconfig. To remind anyone who's forgotten, as I had, an easy way to then get the option of a kde2 session from the graphical login manager is to start kde1, go to the control centre, applications, login manager, sessions, and add a new session type kde2. Next time you come to the login manager, you get the choice of kde2 as well. Thanks to those who posted the advice, a nice easy upgrade. KDE2 remembered all the personalisations and settings I'd made to the 1.94 beta, and you're ready to go in minutes. Looks nice as well.

Does anyone know how to make this work after installing xfree 4.x I'm not able to select any thing other than kde. No kde2 no gnome no enlightenment no nothin but kde after upgrading from x3.3.6 to x4.0/x4.01 using SuSE 6.4. All this works fine on my disc that still has x3.3.6 on it. I'm able to select kde2, kde1, gnome, whatever with x3.3.6. I know of a few people that have the same problem so I don't think it's Operator error. ?????????????? -- Mark Hounschell dmarkh@cfl.rr.com -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
Use YaST to change console choice from ASCII to GRAPHICAL, and add KDE2 to your choices. JLK On Wednesday 25 October 2000 18:35, you wrote:

Doesn't work using x4.0. Does with x3.3.6. With x4.0 no matter what you choose at the kdm login prompt you get kde. No kde2, no gnome, no nothin but kde?????????????????????

Does "startx kde2" work? jlk Fromrun level-2:
WINDOWMANAGER=kde2 startx kde2 This works. But then I'm stuck with kde2 and no way to go back except WINDOWMANAGER=kde startx kde Once I do any of the above even rebooting or selecting another from the KDM login prompt leaves me with whatever I last did.
