 Posted: Fri Apr 14, 2006 11:17 am Post subject: Consoles in X, kdm |
 |
|
Hello. I'm with 2.6.15-r1 kernel and yesterday I have installed Xorg, KDE and KDM.
I have configured the X-server to start KDE when I execute "startx".
But when I enter the K Desktop Environment, I dont have the virtual consoles.
I cant switch with alt+F1, alt+F2, alt+F3.... alt+F7.
My questions are two.
First, why I cant switch between the consoles inside X.
And the second is about the K Desktop Manager...
When I execute STARTX with root, I can enter KDE directly, without any desktop maganer. But when I'm logget as a simple user, I cant execute "startkde". It says "the command not found". Any help please ?  |

crtl+alt+F1, ctrl+alt+F2, and so on.

Kde is a desktop (better: window) manager.
Maybe you don't have /usr/kde/3.5/bin/ (with the right version numbers) in your path; why don't you use startx when normal user too?
Bye

That won't work.
Change the DISPLAYMANAGER Variable in /etc/rc.conf to kdm and start it with:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/xdm start |
To have it start automatically on every boot execute:
| Code: | | rc-update add xdm default |
