KDE remains the default session type on a fresh KDE installation, but
KDE is no longer a valid session type. O_O
You must select Plasma as a session type if you want a KDE DTE. :-p
I'm not sure what you are getting at here? Is this KDM or systemsettings where its Plasma or plasma-notebook?
At the greeter.
I don't follow that? Am I supposed to follow the kdmrc (!!!) to the greeter? I ask because systemsetting -> system administration -> login screen -> general
says [x] Use Themed Greeter
and everything else is set to 'default'
If you mean something else by "At the greeter" please explain.
ISTR your problem initially was that logging into KDE was looping back each time to the very same KDE login screen instead of starting a KDE session. The greeter is the KDM thingie, sometimes a little window, sometimes a whole screen, depending on theming or no theming, where you type in username and password, and have the option to shutdown and other things, among them to select a session type other than default.
Get KDM to work for now, as it doesn't seem to have that problem.
:-) I'd *love* to get KDM to work!
So try selecting plasma as a session type _at_the_greeter_. You haven't yet mentioned trying that. ;-) -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
