With Holgers upload of debian-edu yesterday, the kdm->gdm3 switch took effect, and exposed a seriuos problem. gdm3 depend on gnome-session-bin, and this cause enough of gnome to be installed to set the default desktop to gnome (using the x-session-manager alternative). So when logging in for the first time in the default setup (installed using desktop-kde), one end up with a "simplified" gnome desktop with all our educational packages. We can fix it by running update-alternatives at the end of the installation, but pulling in gnome also fill up /usr/ a bit. Not sure how much it is, but suspect 100-200 MiB. Something like this called from cfengine for KDE and Gnome desktops would solve the desktop selection part: update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/startkde update-alternatives --set x-session-manager /usr/bin/startlxde But we would still fill up the disk without wanting the software. Should we revert to kdm for KDE (and perhaps use kdm for LXDE and Xfce too?). -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-edu-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
