If you want KDM, you need to "dpkg-reconfigure kdm" to make sure it's the preferred desktop-manager (you can only have one active at a time, even if others are uninstalled), then you need to stop the previous desktop-manager (service somedm stop) and start kdm (service kdm start). Be aware that stopping the old desktop-manager will kill your X session. If you just want to be able to login to KDE, most desktop managers can do that (that is, you don't NEED KDM for KDE; you may prefer it, though. YMMV). Once you have entered your username, before you enter your password, look for a session selection widget. In some DMs it'll be obvious, in some, you need to click your username or perhaps a cog or head icon. Once you've found it, select KDE as your desktop and THEN enter your password. Your selection *should* be remembered. > > 2nd question: Since I am used to 10 workspaces, where is the workspace > creator? > > 3rd question, that speech synth is driving me nuts, so how do I shut that > thing off? > > There is no doubt more, but I'm back on Lucid ATM. > > Thanks folks. > > Cheers, Gene Heskett > -- > "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: > soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
