Trapped in kdm
I have come to suspect - perhaps wrongly - that many of the problems I
am having with printets and printer sharing originated when I tried kde.
In spite of kde's bells and whistles I usually start in icewm-gnome.
So I thought it might be better to open my window with gdm. I tried
the following:
/etc/init.d/kdm stop It stopped
dpkg-reconfigure gdm It gave the choice of gdm or
kdm. When I chose gdm
I received a
string of Unable to register ... and
/etc/init.d/gdm fails as gdm is not the
default.
dpkg -l |grep gnome shows gnome-session and other major packages
installed although a lot of the games show as "rc". The question is how
best to back up to a simpler environment?
Should I purge kde and kdm or is it possible to switch them off and test
a gnome-only environment?
