kdm won't start kde2

2001-08-07 Thread uhlhorsr
Hi all-

I had to blast my system and reinstall potato. I got task-kde from 
kde.debian.net and got kdm running, but I can't launch kde2 from kdm. Blackbox 
and twm are launched from default and failsafe. The x-window-manager 
alternative points to /usr/bin/blackbox. I tried to change this to kde2 by 
running 'update-alternatives --config x-window-manager', but only twm and 
blackbox are listed as options. How do I change this alternative, or get kdm 
to launch kde2?

Thanks,
Stephen




stable -> testing kde problems

2001-07-04 Thread uhlhorsr
I just upgraded my potato box to testing and am having problems getting kde 
set up. I noticed there is no task-kde in testing (correct?). So I manually 
picked the kde debs with dselect. I got kdm running fine, but when I try to 
login via kdm, the machine hangs for a few seconds and then dumps me back to 
kdm. I can however get kdm to lauch blackbox without problems though. What am 
I missing/doing wrong?

FYI: This was inspired by the "upgrade" to a geforce2 mx video card. Any 
relation?
