Debian :: Startup And Rc's - Run Different Desktops - Gnome - Xfce
Jul 16, 2011After an error occurred i can log in using the recovery console and startx manually.
If i understood correctly recovery mode uses /etc/rcS.d which starts the computer with minimal services and the normal startup is /etc/rc2.d. What can rc3, rc4 and rc5 be used for? Can anyone run different desktops (gnome, xfce, etc) using these runlevels (i am considering that the base system install is the same for all desktops)? Where i can find information about the services that are listed in the rc folders, since some (hibernate, bluetooth, apache2) are not useful to me at the moment.
I am also interested to find out what makes the computer start at it's default runlevel. Is there a way to start rc2 (or rc3, etc) from the recovery mode? When i used to start my computer, it would load into grub, and then it used to get me to the login screen. This is something i would like to avoid (the login screen), and start at the command prompt. My startups are minimal since the computer is always on. I was thinking of 'copying' rcS into rc2 for a normal console start and then start rc3 or rc4 or rc5 to load a desktop.
I am using Squeeze, Gnome, default installation.

Apr 25, 2016I recently installed Debian 8 (Jessie) with the default desktop environment (Gnome), and I use a dual monitor setup. Everything works absolutely fine beyond the fact that when I switch between desktops in the dash (Activities menu?), only the windows on my primary monitor switch, and the ones on my secondary stay the same.

Mar 31, 2011I always run kde AND gnome on my laptop. Now I have a netbook and I would like to do the same thing with the netbook editions. The problem is that once I install the kubuntu netbook edition my ubuntu netbook edition becomes regular gnome and I lose all the things that make the netbook version fun.
It doesn't make a difference what order I install things in. My login screen has multiple choices but GNOME, Ubuntu Netbook, and Ubuntu Netbook 2D all login to regular gnome. Is there a way I can have both the kde and gnome netbook desktops?
Fedora :: No Ɗ Desktops' After Kernel Upgrade
Nov 6, 2009My Fedora 11 Acer Aspire One system updated today from Kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586 to kernel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11.i586
On reboot, the lower panel on my Gnome desktop is missing the 4 rectangles for selecting desktops 1-4. Also, when you open Firefox, terminal etc, there is no tab on the lower panel either.
Is there a way to get them back?
Fedora :: Hchange The Number Of Desktops?
Sep 25, 2010When I rightclick on the workspace applet, and go to preferences, there is no option to change the number of desktops. Nor is there an option in the "desktop effects" application under System>Preferences.
I installed ccsm, and changing the number of desktops in there does not do anything.
I am running fedora 13.

Fedora :: Desktop Environment - Use 2 Different Types Of Desktops
Jun 25, 20111. There are 4 desktop types to choose from [URL]
Fedora 15 Desktop Edition (GNOME-based)
Fedora 15 KDE Spin
Fedora 15 LXDE Spin
Fedora 15 Xfce Spin
Each type has two options: 32 & 64-bit. What type of download are these, Full Distribution or Live Image?
2. Both Full Distribution and Live Image seem to allow one to install the complete Fedora system, but Live Image appear to be much smaller file. So why should one choose the Full Distribution option?
3. The 4 desktop environments that can be downloaded from the link mentioned in my question 1 above can be installed. But these are also called spins. I thought spins can only be tried out, but not installed, right?
4. Is there a way to be able to use 2 different types of desktops, for example, use KDE for majority of the time and Xfce occasinally? That is, is there a way to just download a specific desktop environment as a package (not the entire Fedora system), for example, Xfce, and then install it on your existing Fedora system (for example running KDE), and be able to switch easily between these two desktop environments? Or one has to uninstall the entire existing Fedora system and then install the other type of Fedora (in this example, uninstall Fedora KDE, then install Fedora Xfce)?
Fedora :: Missing Where To Set Individual Virtual Desktops Wallpaper - 12 With KDE
Jan 3, 2010I use 4 virtual desktops and under Fedora 8 and KDE was able for each to have a unique wallpaper. Since installing Fedora 12 and KDE I can't seem to find a way to get that feature. I can name each virtual desktop but not set individual wallpaper. I've searched the documents for both KDE and Fedora, they say how to set the wallpaper but not for individual desktops.

Fedora Installation :: FC#13=Gnome Is Gone?
Jun 6, 2010Just installed FC13 to HD. After rebooting, install shows icons for home, computer, and trash. That's all, no gnome frame, so I have no access to the terminal or web. Even when I opened home and computer to see if there was a way to get anything from either of those, they were missing the (-,square box, x) to close them! I think one had a drop down menu that listed "close" as an option, but I had to kill the computer to close the other one. Gnome was there when I used the live cd to load to HD. I can go back in with the live cd to get to the terminal, but what do I do when I have it open? I tried to check the md5sum but didn't have any luck with following the instructions linked on the download page.

Jun 3, 2009I just installed Fedora Core 9 on a older PC (Compaq Presario that dual boots Windows xp). It had a much older Fedora on it and I overwrote it. I did a basic install using 3 of the 6 discs and watched it say it installed Gnome. I remember from a few years back that Fedora just boots to the prompt after installation unless you *tell* it to boot to a gui environment.

View 5 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: 12 - KDE - Gnome CD Live
Nov 27, 2009I have a problem when I power on my laptop (EliteBook 8530p) with fedora core 12 live cd in my optical drive. It simply will not start. The two numlock and capslock leds are flashing regularly and the screen is either blank, or it just freezes at the main menu (from which I can enter bios, etc). A HP assistant suggested that I should update my bios, but it's the same. I have also tried to install Mandriva 2010, which the laptop reads and boots up to a certain point when the screen goes blank, with the exception of a scroll flickering at the upper-left corner of the screen. Windows 7, FC 11, Ubuntu have been working till now, so I am inclined to believe that there's no problem with those particular cds (especially given the fact that I have written 3 or 4 with each linux image - fedora and mandriva).
View 1 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Both Gnome And KDE Desktop
Feb 3, 2010I had a request from one of my colleague that he would like to try my Fedora 12 installation which was set up recently. However, he said he would like to start with the KDE Desktop while my normal login uses the Gnome. Is it possible to have different desktops for different users (well I believe so)? If yes, I would be appreciated if some one will provide me guidance in doing so as I am quite new to Linux.
View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Migrating Away From Gnome
Apr 13, 2011I've been looking at Gnome 3 and the Gnome Shell and I don't like what I see. The Gnome devs are taking things in a direction I don't like, giving us new ways to do things that don't interest me and making them mandatory. AFAICT, in the long run there's no real way to configure things to work the way I've been doing things for the last fifteen years. This is not a rant, not (mostly) a complaint, merely an observation. Clearly, I'm not part of their target demographic and I doubt that I'd want to be under the circumstances.
To me, that means it's time for me to move on and try something different. After some careful research, I've migrated my laptop to XFCE and am very happy with it. Now, I'm about to do the same to my desktop. This leaves me with an interesting question: what's the best way to remove Gnome from my two machines without removing any support needed for various programs that I'm accustomed to using and expect to continue using?

View 4 Replies View RelatedFedora Installation :: Safely Removing Gnome
Jun 15, 2011I've been using Gnome for several years and haven't had any real problems with it. Now, however, I find the descriptions of what Gnome 3 and the Gnome Shell quite unsettling. That is, the Gnome devs have added a number of things I don't want, removed things I do want and made it impossible to configure Gnome 3 to work anywhere near what I want without adding unsupported third-party extensions. (Note: this is neither a complaint nor a flame; it's just a statement of my personal taste and any attempts to argue about it will be ignored.)
Currently, I have installed XFCE and am very happy with it on my two F14 boxes. I know that if and when I move to F15 (or F16 if 15 continues to be as problematic as it is so far) the upgrade will include Gnome 3, even though I don't use it. I'd like, therefore, to remove it but without removing any bits and pieces of it that are needed by whatever programs I'm using. What's the safest way to do this?
Fedora Installation :: KDE & Gnome Login After Upgrade To F15?
Jun 24, 2011About a week ago I used preupgrade to make the transition F14 -> F15 on a x86_64 workstation.
The system has been fully updated ever since, but I'm still not able to login either with KDE or Gnome. With KDE, the login process freezes before completion, whereas with Gnome I get the "wallpaper" behaviour reported here: [URL]
Funny though, I can login in the KDE failsafe session.
I could find no other thread reporting this problem and am at a loss on how to start diagnosing the problem. If anyone out there has any suggestion, I'd welcome it...
what's the difference between a "regular" KDE session and the failsafe one? They both look & feel the same to me...

Tried to reinstall 'NetworkManager' after the fact but of course I have no network connections so I may have made the problem worse. I hate to reinstall and repeat the same troubles over again as it consumes a lot of time. I don't know where to begin.
Fedora Installation :: F11 With USB Gives Barebones System (no Gnome Or Xserver)

why would this happen... i look through the usb key and can see packages for xorg and gnome etc... but they are not installed? do i need to specify somehow that i want a "full" install... so far i have selected something like "Install or upgrade system..." why are some "components" missing from my installation?
