[newbie] HELP! HELP! Restoring LM7.2 desktop
Third try -- maybe *that* subject line will get someone to answer. :) On Sunday I had a system-lockup event followed by a hard-reset (didn't know what else to do). Now my default LM7.2 login screen and desktop is gone, replaced by KDE IceWM. IceWM is fine, but I'd like the old stuff with the cartoon penguins and the rest of it back. How do I go about doing this? Do I have to reinstall the OS? Thanks! Mark Shaw

try putting a file called: .xinitrc in your user directory in that file put one word and save it... that word should be: startkde then try it again... rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Mark Shaw Sent: Thursday, 2 August 2001 5:18 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] HELP!

THANKS! But: no joy. No change at all. Anything else I should try, or other things I should look at? I still have all the /var/log/... stuff but I'm not sure what to look for.
