Hi everyone, Two questions that I know you can all answere for me!
I have just installed Suse 9.2 pro, and for a change I decided to install and run Gnome, but I don't like it too much and want to go back to KDE. I have installed KDE from the suse DVD but how do I now change desktops? Maybe I should download the latest version of KDE first and install and run that? Anyway, that's the first question.
In SuSE 9.2 you'll find that after you've booted into gnome, it will stick on gnome and not offer you a choice. This is normal gnome brain damage, it's a matter of deleting a file to fix it - not the usual file though.
I have drawn a mental blank on the flipping filename. Having just nuked gnome myself, I can't even quickly pop into gnome and recreate it - it's not .xsessions, but it's something similar - hopefully someone reading this will remember, as it's a real no-brainer. If not, I'll pop gnome back on for a second later.
The second is, if I download the latest Kernal, how do I install and run that?
YaST/apt4rpm should see you right under most normal circumstances.
Oh, just one other, how do I re-boot the GUI without having to re-boot the computer?
Normally, log out of the session and back in. In the event of a crash or something, you can restart X using Control-Alt-Backspace.
Many thanks. I await the flood of replies (Pleaseeeeeeee!!)
