Hello,

I have build an small appliance with gnome and kde4 and has some small problems:

  • How can I switch between? If I install openSuSE from install medium, it can over login screen select.
  • How can I change the default desktop system to …?
  • On gnome display setting can not change, because “display-gnome-properties” file or directory not found?!?

thanx

Hi,

By guessing what you mean:

  • If Gnome and KDE are both installed, the desktop to start can be chosen from the login screen, bottom left. But you need to have both installed.
  • You cannot set a default desktop, just change desktop as mentioned, next time it will be the same
  • Looks like your install is not complete. Search for “display-gnome-properties” with all options checked. See if that returns some packages that refer to the search phrase.

BTW. Don’t know it this makes things easier for you, but we have german language subforums…

find /usr/share/applications -name "display-properties.desktop"

You can only see this program in Gnome :

cat /usr/share/applications/display-properties.desktop

I take a new look at bottom left and see … nothing:

I hope the openSuSE pattern install all needed things for working system. I selected X11, base, gnome and kde4 (appliance).

thx
