What is the best way to make the runlevel-based X boot to go to KDE?
Should I tweak xdm's config (if so which file where?) or should I
install kdm instead via apt?
Unless you are exceptionally tight on memory (which KDE suggests you're
not) I'd say just install kdm. It is based on xdm but you can configure
it nicely from within KDE itself.
Okay, so I've installed kdm by:
apt-get install kdm
which all went smoothly, and has set kdm as my default display manager.
However, at the end of the boot process I see:
Starting K Desktop Manager: done
and yet the GUI does not boot? I've left gdm and xdm installed, but I don't
think they can get in the way - what am I missing folks?
cheers,
