Desktope wechseln wie?? Suse Linux 9.1

[Spielgrips]

Hi,

ich habe ein Problem, seit Suse Linux 9.1 geht das wechseln zu anderen Desktope irgendwie nicht. Bei meiner anderen Version 8.1/.2 war eine kleine Auswahl am Anfang, z.b gnome, kde, xfce4 und die Auswahl bei Suse Linux 9.1 gibs am Anfang nicht mehr und ich weiß nicht wie ich wechseln soll??

Hab schon unter Kontrollzentrum > Systemverwalter > Anmeldemanager geguckt, aber da ist nix drüber :(!

Kann mir einer helfen??

[Ako]

Wenn du KDM benutzt müsste bei der Anmeldung doch unten Menü stehen!
Da auf Sitzungsart und wählen.

PS: Heist es nicht Desktops ?

[Spielgrips]

Bei Menü steht nur:

> X - Server neustarten
> Beenden

Aber keine Sitzungsart :)!

[Arounder]

ich will dich ja jetzt nicht als dumm verkaufen;
aber hast du Gnome, fvwm etc installiert?

KDM scheinst du ja installiert zu haben..
Hast du vielleicht die Automatische Anmeldung an?

[Spielgrips]

Also:

Automatische Anmeldung habe ich ausgeschaltet und .rpm's für xfce4 habe ich alle installiert :)!

Hi

Hast Du Suse 9.1 Personal? Ich glaube mal darüber gelesen zu haben, dass genau dasselbe Problem auch andere hatten, versuche mal die Suchfunktion mit suse kdm personal zu füttern, vielleicht springt da was sinnvolles heraus:
Zusätzlich gäbe es noch dies:

http://www.linuxforen.de/forums/showthread.php?t=145926&highlight=suse+personal+kdm und dort die Lösung von Thomas_Mitzkat, die dort geholfen hatte.

Hoffe das kann Dir irgendwie weiterhelfen. Alternativ könnte man versuchen einen alternativen Anmeldungsmanager zu installieren, gdm zum Beispiel. Dort ist die Konfiguration "relativ" einfach über die gdm.conf und .desktop Dateien.

# KDM master configuration file
#
# Definition: the greeter is the login dialog, i.e., the part of KDM
# which the user sees.
#
# You can configure every X-display individually.
# Every display has a display name, which consists of a host name
# (which is empty for local displays specified in the Xservers file),
# a colon and a display number. Additionally, a display belongs to a
# display class (which can be ignored in most cases; the control center
# does not support this feature at all).
# Sections with display-specific settings have the formal syntax
# "[X-" host [":" number [ "_" class ]] "-" sub-section "]"
# You can use the "*" wildcard for host, number and class. You may omit
# trailing components; they are assumed to be "*" then.
# The host part may be a domain specification like ".inf.tu-dresden.de".
# From which section a setting is actually taken is determined by these
# rules:
# - an exact match takes precedence over a partial match (for the host part),
# which in turn takes precedence over a wildcard
# - precedence decreases from left to right for equally exact matches
# Example: display name "myhost:0", class "dpy".
# [X-myhost:0_dpy] precedes
# [X-myhost:0_*] (same as [X-myhost:0]) precedes
# [X-myhost:*_dpy] precedes
# [X-myhost:*_*] (same as [X-myhost]) precedes
# [X-*:0_dpy] precedes
# [X-*:0_*] (same as [X-*:0]) precedes
# [X-*:*_*] (same as [X-*])
# These sections do NOT match this display:
# [X-hishost], [X-myhost:0_dec], [X-*:1], [X-:*]
# If a setting is not found in any matching section, the default is used.
#
# Every comment applies to the following section or key. Note, that all
# comments will be lost if you change this file with the kcontrol frontend.
# The defaults refer to KDM's built-in values, not anything set in this file.

# specifies exactly one X-server.

Ich bin noch Anfänger in Linux ...

[kyromoto]

Also ich habe fast das selbe Problem.

Ich habe zwar kde und die standart mässigen wie tvwm etc installiert und die kann man auch auswählen, aber wie bekommt man in dieses Menü neue einträge hinein. XFCE4 ist mein Wunsch!
Ach ja ich habe ne suse 9.1 professional!

[finbar]

n der Konfiguration von kdm ist bei suse 9,1 personal eingestellt, dass das Sitzungsartmenu nicht angzeigt wird. Deshalb muss diese Einstellung in /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc geändert werden:
[X-:*-Greeter]
AdminSession=YaSTadminSession
HideMenu=True
in:
[X-:*-Greeter]
AdminSession=YaSTadminSession
HideMenu=false

Ausserdem muss das Menu Sitzungsart noch eingefügt werden:
[X-*-Greeter]
SelectedUsers=
SessionTypes=default,gnome,kde,icewm,failsafe
ShowUsers=NotHidden

Hier können auch noch andere Windowmanager eingefügt werden.
