[opensuse] Changing Desktops in SUSE 10.1
Greetings all, When I installed SUSE 10.1, I was asked whether I wanted to use GNOME OR KDE as the desktop manager. I selected GNOME. Earlier versions of Mandrake (that I used to run) allowed you to run either GNOME or KDE or any of several windows managers. Can anyone tell me how I modify this installation so that I have a choice (in other words I am asked at boot time which one I want to run)? Many thanks in advance.

Disable autologin (in the YaST2 "users" module). The displaymanager will then ask you which session to start.

Run YaST2 and go to Security and Users -> User Management -> Expert Options -> Display Manager Login Settings. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Sure, first off make sure you have KDE or other window managers installed, than log off, (end user session). When it brings up the log on screen, click on the System then check which one you want to use. Rob Fleetwood wrote:

10.1 also includes several window managers. The choice is simply of which is considered the default environment. It doesn't mean that much, as you can still go to the detailed selection and choose kde and other environments if you pick "gnome", or you can pick "kde" and then go into the detailed selection and choose whatever other desktop environments you like.

At boot time? no, linux is a multiuser OS. You don't decide at boot time, but whenever you start an X session.
