Preventing kde to start
On debian 32 etch/sid I am trying from a few days frustratingly to prevent kde from starting at the command startx. I already asked for advice but the problem was not solved. I am posing the question again because the position may have been blurred from repeated e-mails. What I want is the X-system (which is what I normally need in combination with Open Motif) and the possibility to start kde from startkde only when I need it. Today I updated xserver-org. What I have is: X-Window System version 7.0.0 X Protocol Version 11 Rev 0 Release 7.0 I removed gdm and xdm with command #apt-get remove gdm kdm xdm Now the system boots to text but startx launches both X and, unwillingly, also kde. I forgot before the last step to reconfigure; see what happens: debian:/home/francesco# dpkg -reconfigure kdm dpkg: conflicting actions --control and --remove Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*]. Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' ! debian:/home/francesco# I understand that there is a conflict but I am unable to solve it. Help please.

Thank you francesco pietra The quick solution: create a shell script called .Xsession in your home directory and invoke whatever clients you wish to run when X starts, e.g.: #!/bin/sh xrdb -load $HOME/.Xresources exec xterm This script will be run when you do 'startx'. Or if you just want to launch the X Window System alone, why not run 'X'? You might also want to look into the alternatives for x-session-manager and x-window-manager under /etc/alternatives. -- Liam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
