Installing KDE on fedora 13

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm a long-time computer user but i've failed to switch to KDE on my
fresh fedora install. Is the help on this?

I installed standard fedora 13 (gnome) and now want  to use KDE.

I followed the instructions in the
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE#Using_KDE page down to the
'Graphical Interface" section. Whether I use the switchdesktop command
from the command line or use the system-switch-displaymanager kdm as
root, I still get the gnome desktop (with a lot of entries in the
menu, some with duplicates, like 'System monitor').

I do get a message saying I have to restart the X system. (Of course,
I'm supposed to know what that means.) Deciding that restarting fedora
will surely restart the X system, I do that, looking forward to
choosing a KDE session during login. After all, you say:
"During the default login process, you can use the "Session" menu to
choose a KDE login instead of a GNOME login. You will be asked if you
wish to make KDE your default desktop."
There is no "Session" menu during the login process, I just go
straight to the gnome desktop, menus cluttered with KDE stuff.

Is there a way of doing this (switching between desktops) that works
with fedora 13 (maybe a KDE person can do a fresh install with gnome
and step through the instructions to see if they work).
