Hi all,
newbie questions...
I have xwindows installed. It handles the login screen. And presents me with a x terminal etc when I login.
IIUC, you are using a GUI login, but it fails to start KDE.
And, I can then start KDE with the command startkde...this adds the kde desktop and shows lots of stuff in the xterm window where i type the command.
But, I would like to have that happen without typing startkde evertime I login.
AND!, yes I've read all the docs I could find. Putting startkde in .xinitrc did nothing.
If you are using a GUI login, then the file: "~/.xinitrc" is not relevant since that is ONLY used for the console login.
I followed one set of recommendations modifying rc.local, etc. and everytime I logged in I ended up with a 51+Mb kimageroot.core file in /.
Unfortunately, people that have no idea what they are talking about will answer questions.
Do you know which GUI login manager you are using: XDM, GDM, or KDM?
In any case, the problem usually lies in the: "Xsession" script. This script is run after your login with the GUI login.
