I've done a clean install of 11.1. I selected kde 3.5 instead of kde 4.x. At the logon I have gdm not kdm. I login and I have a gnome Desktop, not a kde desktop? I changed the display manager in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager from gdm to kdm the ran SuSEconfig. Then I rebooted. I got kdm but still have a gnome desktop.
What is the trick to doing a clean install and having kde 3.5 as my desktop with NO gnome?
Thanks Mark
I selected KDE3 during installation, ie. initially I did not touch package selection, and it installed KDE3 with kdm as login manager. Maybe it installed some KDE4 and GNOME applications, or better to say GTk, like Firefox and GIMP, but it was KDE3 desktop. Later I added KDE4 and few more applications CLI, KDE3/4, GNOME, which ended in almost all of GNOME installed (including defunct Metacity), so I can't say for sure what was there from "foreign" applications, but for sure there was no mess with login manager and default desktop as some people are reporting. IMHO, dependency issues are problem. I had trouble to get rid of evolution data server. It seems that every other GNOME package needs it ;-) I don't use Evolution, but I don't mind if it is installed, and removal was just a exercise, how to remove something that shouldn't be installed in a first place. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
