installed slackware, how to get kde to automatically start?
July 06, 2004 07:40 PM
ditto - I heard it has something to do with cron files, but isn't that a regularly scheduled thing, not a startup config?

lemme see if I remember this correctly:
cd ~
vi .xinitrc
(move your cursor to the # in front of exec kde and hit the x key, then type :wq)
if .xinitrc is blank just go echo "exec kde">.xinitrc
cd ~

Just set the default runlevel to 5 and make sure kdm is in that runlevel's init script.

In Gentoo (not slackware, sorry), I went to /etc/rc.conf and set DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" to get graphical login, and XSESSION="kde-3.2.1" to use kde as the default window manager.

I'm with clum - set the runlevel to 4 (or 5, they are the same), and it will automatically start the kde display manager, which will make a graphical login prompt.
This can be configured to auto-login, probably through a kde control panel of some sort (as root)

In /etc/inittab change the line (first line which isn't a comment)
id:3:initdefault:
to
id:4:initdefault:
runlevel 4 is graphical in slackware, runlevel 5 is the same as runlevel 3
To get kdm as login manager (gdm is probably default)
Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.4 , which looks like this :
# Try to use GNOME's gdm session manager:
if [ -x /usr/bin/gdm ]; then
exec /usr/bin/gdm -nodaemon
fi
# Not there? OK, try to use KDE's kdm session manager:
if [ -x /opt/kde/bin/kdm ]; then
exec /opt/kde/bin/kdm -nodaemon
fi
# If all you have is XDM, I guess it will have to do:
if [ -x /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm ]; then
exec /usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon
fi
...
Swap the the first two if's , or comment out the gdm if.
