[Bug 396379] New: Both KDM and GDM refuse to run any other desktop environment than KDE3
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=396379 Summary: Both KDM and GDM refuse to run any other desktop environment than KDE3 Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: RC 1 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: jakub.hegenbart@gmail.com QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Found By: Customer Created an attachment (id=219524) --> (https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=219524) The environment and the suspicious part of the process tree A system was installed from openSUSE 11.0 RC1 DVD media. It was set up to run KDE3 during the installation. Now I have added GNOME to take a look at the new version of said desktop environment, but KDM defies the DE selection and starts KDE3 instead. I have tried starting WindowMaker - the same result, the system runs KDE3. See the attached screenshot that suggests that GNOME should probably be running at the moment of taking this screenshot (according to the system environment). An interesting tidbit is that YaST2 honors the environment settings and runs its modules (when run from console) using the Gtk+ GUI. The Control Center does NOT even start ('** ERROR **: Resource problem creating ' --/orbit-root', aborting...') from the console, and from the KDE menu, both Control Center and YaST modules run with Qt GUI. I never noticed anything like this in oS 10.3. I admit that this part of the system is beyond my skills to analyze further. Any hints will be appreciated. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
