I have SLES 11 and it has Gnome installed by default.
I can start the Gnome Display by running:
/usr/sbin/gdm
I have a problem loggin in via this method (I have another post about this) so I want to try to install KDE and see if it works. As I cannot log in I can’t use YAST so I have to use the command line.
I install KDE by doing the following zypper in kdebase4-runtime-4.3.5-0.1.97.x86_64.rpm
This installs several KDE binaries for example:
/usr/bin/kde4
/usr/bin/kde4-menu
/usr/bin/kde4-config
etc
My question is how do I manually launch KDE (Like I did before with gdm)
Hi
You can run the command yast (ncurses based) from the command line…
you need to edit the displaymanager file to set kdm in
the /etc/sysconfig editor.
