Add /usr/local/kde/bin to your default login profile (usually in /etc/profile, something like export PATH=$PATH:....:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/kde/bin). Edit your /etc/inittab file. If you're not running Slackware (which is already set up), edit/replace the line that starts with x:5:respawn:: x:5:respawn:/usr/local/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon Restart the init process (which is always PID 1) kill -HUP 1 Finally, from the kdebase-2.2.2 source directory run: ./kdm/kfrontend/genkdmconf --no-old (this will generate a generic kdmrc file without using any existing XFree86 files as defaults) Finally - to clean things up you will want to edit: /usr/local/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc And uncomment and edit this line: MinShowUID=100 If you can start KDM and log into KDE sucessfully (run /sbin/init 5), then make it your default by editing /etc/inittab again. (Use runlevel 4 for Slackware). id:5:initdefault: Warning: main(sitefooter.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /export/home/ian/braindump/old_pages/Linux/kde_install.htm on line 54 Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening 'sitefooter.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/export/home/ian/braindump/cowiki/includes/cowiki') in /export/home/ian/braindump/old_pages/Linux/kde_install.htm on line 54 |
