Making KDE default and OpenOffice question

English Applications
1

Hey there. When I installed my OpenSuse 10.3, I installed both KDE and GNOME (this one is the default). However, I like KDE more, so I wanted to leave it as the default environment, however, it seems that I don’t know how to do that… ¬_¬

Any roads, can someone help me out with this (changing to KDE as my default desktop)?

Oh, another thing. Suddenly, my OpenOffice Calc 2.3 stopped working. All the other tools of OpenOffice work fine. I can’t open any spreadsheet file, nor start the program itself. Any clue with this?

Thanks.

does your system auto login? If so disable it in Yast.

That will mean you get a login screen.

On the lower left is options for sessions
select kde
and login

kde should remain - unless you switch back to Gnome

OO Calc stopped working
do you mean it will not start up?
Try starting it from a terminal with oocalc
see what errors it has and paste them here

Thanks with the KDE help.
But with OO Calc it doesn’t return any help. I press oocalc, and it stays idle for some seconds, and then it appears the command line again.

I press oocalc
Not sure what you PRESS in a terminal other than the keys on the keyboard to type oocalc

Did you do that - what happend - I can’t make out your reply - sorry!

My mistake. I meant that I entered such command in console (oocalc) and nothing happened. I tried with other (oowriter), and it worked. It is something with the Calc, I’m sure of it.

You might try clearing out your openoffice settings by deleting the .ooo-2.0
subdirectory in your home directory.

This should restore all the settings to defaults next time you start an
openoffice application.

(in a console, as you)

rm -rf .ooo-2.0
