Lol, most assuredly Gnome is installed. I can start it from tty term. Like I said, it's about getting KDM to make it available for login in init 5 via the gui.
Cheers, Curtis.
If I recall the change was made early in the 9.x series, I'm runnung 9.2 w/kde3.5. The following all assumes that kdm is being used as session manager. My recollection is that windowmanagers are somewhat automatically recognized by kdm as long as there is a proper *.desktop file in /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/ If I am remembering correctly then you should only need to check for the file /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/gnome.desktop Assuming that it exists, open the file w/ kwrite and make sure the information looks correct. Here is a snip from my working /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/gnome.desktop file ----------snip-------------- [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=XSession Exec=gnome-session TryExec=gnome-session Name=GNOME ----------snip------------- If there is no /opt/kde3/share/apps/kdm/sessions/gnome.desktop then you can use one of the other *.desktop files as a template Hope this helps -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com!
