I was being launched into GNOME, which I figured was a totally unacceptable direction for KDE to take. KDE as well as XFCE were also installed and I had selected a KDE desktop but went direct into GNOME regardless and there was NO desktop selection with the log-in.
So, reinstalled the beta but this time without GNOME (just in case) and with a boot to init 3 only. Everything is cool, I will stay with an init 3 boot from now on.
Un..fortunately,
Display manager selection is now done by the "alternatives" scheme, for your display manager, you can set:
# update-alternatives --set default-displaymanager /path/to/the/dm/you/want
To see what is available:
$ update-alternatives --list default-displaymanager
Or just pick the installed one you like best: # update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager There are 3 choices for the alternative default-displaymanager (providing /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default-displaymanager). Selection Path Priority Status ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/kdm3 15 auto mode 1 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console 5 manual mode * 2 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/kdm3 15 manual mode 3 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm 10 manual mode Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
