that's what it says.
Second: the central /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc looks for $DEFAULT_WM in $PATH
*only* if you call "startx" according to the text within that script, no word about "startkde". I boot to runlevel 3 and then move to runlevel 5, init 5.
Third: Fail!
I don't have "Fail!", but move directly to the password screen where the desired window_manager is selected.
Easy to follow, ne?
Easy but does not folow.
For a permanent solution: either the script /usr/bin/kde4 will be renamed, or upgraded with a logic to detect when an "exec startkde" is appropiate.
probably would fubar some other situations.
Or even better fix the install/update scriptlet permanent.
doesn't appear broken on my install/update
Do NOT resort to bungling up a FUBAR situation.
"kde4 Plasma" as DEFAULT_WM is plain wrong. For further info ask around at kde.org
??
As a 'simple' user I'd like a package to run after install/update/upgrade and fail as seen.
works-for-me as is.
For further analyses:
Is the scriptlet in the kdm or in a other kde* package?
Just why mongs this scriptlet the DEFAULT_WM around when there is already a valid entry?
Is the script /usr/bin/kde4 upstream or openSUSE?
But please check with others about what you propagate as solution.
Don't believe you will find that I ever offered a solution. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
