I tried i think TWM on my login screen to see what that would do. Please help. Now I can't seem to get back to the FVM screen to choose KDE. Don't know how to exit this thing either. On reboot it goes right back to TWM. Thanks. Thom Nuzum (in DC)
launch a console su to root and run yast. in the sysconf editor is an option for windomanager... in the meantime it's determined by variables... after login (textmode or init 3) you can change these like so: export WINDOWMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kde export DISPLAYMANAGER=/opt/kde3/bin/kde or whatever ya wish to use...

The export commands work for me, but I can't seem to get my default windowmanager back. I tried setting everything to Default in sysconf. On startup I always go into TWM. Is there another way to get my default graphical login screen back with all its selections or can I remove this TWM somehow. Thanks
As root run yast select SYSTEM -> EDITOR FOR SYSCONF Once in check out DESKTOP -> DESKTOP-BASICS There's a field called Default WM That should make the systemwide default. As for yours' If this doesn't fix it for your normal work account, I'd suggest a few file checks... Make sure it's not in these files. ~/.bashrc ~/.profile Worse case secnerio you can always add a line that sets the windowmanager here. Then when ya login it's done for you.

thanks I managed to fix it just before getting your message. Went to root and set in Control Center everything to Defaults. I'll save this snippet for future use. Funny about TWM. I wonder if that's a normal procedure. On Sunday 01 June 2003 18:10, Pagan wrote:
