Debian + GDM/KDE
I'm trialing out Debian in a VMWare virtual machine
(before I actually take the plunge and partition my
hard drive -- had some bad experiences, which I won't
go into.)
Anyway. I have downloaded Debian (Sarge I think is the
latest one), and also tried to download Gnome/GDE and
KDE via apt-get and aptitude. After hours of
downloading, and installing, and configuring, I reboot
and, after installing KDE, I get a loading message for
KDE. The screen blanks, the resolution changes, a
short pause, and then I'm back to the login prompt.
Can anyone help me pinpoint why this is the case? I
have used defaults on most of the configs, and used
UK-specific information where possible.
I have used Linux before, but I have never installed
Linux myself, hence my ignorance.
Loopy
