Try editing /etc/rc.config and setting DISPLAYMANAGER="gdm" manually. If you'd rather select gnome from KDM, make sure there is a file called /usr/X11R6/bin/gnome with the contents: #!/bin/sh exec gnome-session One more thing, to use Helix' gdm, you may need to edit /etc/permissions.local and add the line: /var/lib/gdm gdm.gdm 0750 in order for it to work properly. Good luck! -jrh

Last week I started using Helix Code on my laptop with RH6.2. I liked it so much that I went home and installed it on my SuSE6.4 desktop at home.

Well, yesterday I go the bright idea that I should go ahead and put SuSE on the laptop. So I did. Decided to do a clean install since I really did not have anything of import on here to begin with.

Not wanting to do without Helix Code, I did the sensible thing and installed it again once I got SuSE up and running.

/etc/rc.config trashed. Hard. It had a few junk characters in it and that was it.

The first time I installed I thought I had hosed something up so I wiped it and did it again. Well, I installed Helix Code again and again rc.config went to that great hard drive in the sky. This time though I copied the backup onto it.

As if this is not confusing enough, I can't get gdm to start up as the log in manager. Yast does not even show it as a possible selection, and when go into Gnome and set it up myself, it works one time then KDM comes back. Well, I don't mind that, but KDM is not even showing Gnome as a possible window manager.

Any ideas at all what the heck is going on here?
