Re: [Cooker] Minor install "gotchas" on KDE2
For those having difficulties running KDE2-alphas and KDE1, here are the scripts I used on my Mandrake 7.0 machine. There are probably many other ways, but this works for me ... # #!/bin/sh # /opt/kde2/bin/kde1 export KDE2DIR=/opt/kde2 export KDEDIR=/opt/kde export QTDIR=/usr/local/qt export X11HOME=/usr/X11R6 # If $KDE2DIR/bin is already in PATH, remove it ... otherwise each # invocation adds to the PATH.

Any time to debug it ? mandrake_everytime calls /usr/bin/fndSession which does the job: it's suppose to modify /usr/share/config/kdmrc using the window-managers file. It worked for me, but my installation isn't really a standard one... :-} > It also appears that /etc/X11/Xsessions is an artifact--a nice script no > longer executed, and I am still looking for where things happen. Not used anymore ? Ah ! That would be why I wasn't sure it had to be modified or not :-) Anyone knows how stuff is executed by kdm, in Mandrake ? (Ah - does xdm-config point to another file than Xsession, for executing stuff ?) Anyway - the point in window-managers is that if it appears automatically in kdm, it should manage to run it fine - so both problems are the same I guess. > On the other hand--KDE2 is definitely quite nice.
