Preventing kde to start
On debian 32 etch/sid I am trying from a few days frustratingly to prevent kde
from starting at the command <startx>. I already asked for advice but the
problem was not solved. I am posing the question again because the position
may have been blurred from repeated e-mails.
What I want is the X-system (which is what I normally need in combination with
Open Motif) and the possibility to start kde from <startkde> only when I need
it.
Today I updated xserver-org. What I have is:
X-Window System version 7.0.0
X Protocol Version 11 Rev 0 Release 7.0
I removed gdm and xdm with command
#apt-get remove gdm kdm xdm
Now the system boots to text but <startx> launches both X and, unwillingly,
also kde.
I forgot before the last step to reconfigure; see what happens:
debian:/home/francesco# dpkg -reconfigure kdm
dpkg: conflicting actions --control and --remove
Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*];
Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management;
Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values;
Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options;
Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;
Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*].
Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or
`more' !
debian:/home/francesco#
I understand that there is a conflict but I am unable to solve it. Help
please.
Thank you
