This is how I managed to start unity from KDM: 1) aptitude install unity compiz-gnome
apparently unity needs compiz-core to run, but it does not require it on its dependencies and it is not installed by default on a kubuntu-desktop machine. 2) add 'export GDMSESSION="$DESKTOP_SESSION" ' on top of /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession this is executed by kdm at user's login and fixes the environment variable issue. This worked perfectly for me and I hope can help all KDE fans to enjoy the brand new, and much discussed, user interface. By the way can "$DESKTOP_SESSION" be a candidate for a DM independent variable? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772486 Title: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
