OpenSUSE :: How To Switch From Gnome To Kde
Apr 12, 2011
I just installed opensuse11.4 from a livecd and would like to know how to change between the distros. Not sure if I worded that right seeing as i am not 100 percent clear what a distro is. This is my first day ever on linux.

My SUSE installation used GNOME as its default GUI. I finally installed KDE 4 as well. How do I switch between them? Specifically, how can I get XDM or KDM with an option to select the GUI per user (like it is done on Solaris)?

I had Gnome installed. I just added LXDE desktop. The default bootup presents me with a Gnome login. How do I choose LXDE?

I've installed and used SUSE 11.2 with KDE environment. In generally, I've completely satisfied with it. However I want to change KDE into Gnome without re-install SUSE.

I downloaded the KDE version, now I'd like the gnome version. And does fedora have a package management similar to ubuntu like 'sudo apt-get install firefox'? I'd like to know.

I want to set up Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One but want to go with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix version. At times though I may want to use the standard Gnome interface.
Is it possible for me to use both? I don't mean with dual booting but since UNR is like another desktop is it possible to switch between UNR and Gnome on Ubuntu?

Ever since I upgraded to Natty / 11.04, the quality of my desktop experience has dropped sharply.
One thing that effect me greatly is that I can no longer conveniently switch my network proxy on or off system-wide with single click.
Back in Maverick / 10.10, I could launch gnome-network-properties and switch it back and forth depends rather I am at work or at home.
I have found a similar application, "gnome-control-center network," on the surface of it, it seems to replace "gnome-network-properties" in Maverick. Except that this application doesn't seems do ANYTHING.
As result, I am having the hardest time switching my proxy settings, as I have to do so per application basis (gpodder, pidgin, aptitude, thunderbird / firefox, etc).
ps. I am using Gnome "classic" but Gnome 3 suffers the same issue

Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome session fails to start. Gnome-failsafe and XFCE work great. xsession-errors: [URL].... i also cannot switch between ttys, if i do video becomes blured to the point of unreadable. I think this is an issue with X. I have tried the generic kernel (non-pae) with noapic and apci=off with no results.

i have Linux Mint, i was playing around with GTK+3.0, i rebooted then i wanted to switch desktop environments.i clicked the log off button but i saw the character 'E' appear all over the screen. everything just stopped at that point. i had to reboot. after rebooting i installed KDE with aptitude then changed from gdm to kdm. my computer would not boot. i burned a Ubuntu rescue remix live cd and reverted back to gdm. i can now boot. i ran Code:make uninstallin an attempt to revert back to GTK+2, it claimed to work. i rebooted GTK-3.0 was still installed. my desktop is very ugly. i can not change desktop environments and themes do not work at all, nor can i change colors. i want my old GUI back

I recently installed Ubuntu desktop, since I had been running my server as Ubuntu Server on a guest OS on Windows 7 and never really used the Windows part of the computer. Since then, I've been unable to use the mouse in a graphical environment for longer than a few minutes without it starting to act crazy. The mouse moves around normally, but won't respond to clicks (left, middle, or right) but the keyboard shortcuts still work. I'm not sure if things have changed since I last used Gnome though, but Alt+Tab is not working for me either when this happens. Sometimes, the active window is even behind another window, and isn't pulled to the foreground.
After a bit of frustrated clicking and jamming of buttons on the keyboard, sometimes the mouse kind of starts working because I'll notice a right click menu open. But, I am still unable to move windows or click on them to bring them to the foreground, and my mouse presses only work on the current window. And then, eventually, after about a minute or so, it'll stop respond again too.
I saw in one thread that someone had dead spaces where he couldn't click, so he installed and ran Gnome and that fixed it, but I tried using Ubuntu Classic and it is still giving me the same behavior. I'm actually posting this message now in links, because I can't use Firefox or Chrome well enough when it's hidden behind other windows.

I am using Fedora11/Gnome and I frequently use several windows for input. I would like to focus on a window just by moving the mouse over it (but not pop up). However, I can not find anywhere to set up this option.

Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.
(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)

Can the fibre channel switch in the centOS5.3 cluster edition be switched for a regular router or hub?
If so how would one do this? If not why does the switch have to be fibre channel?

Had a bit of a play with KDE 4.5.
I want to switch back to 4.4.xx in Opensuse
What's the easiest way to do this? Do I just use the package switcher to change back to the update repo?

I use 2 keyboard layouts. But when I change setting from the YaST interface in KDE, setting save only for the short time (may be some hours). Then I can't switch between layouts and have to use YaST again. What is it?

why openSuSE chose to switch the default Office from openOffice to LibreOffice?First, I at least looked at libre, looks ok.Then, I went to the 'site' found NO support, forum etc. was directed to opendesktop and again, No forum, not way to comment other than irc and that is way to easy to be 'band from' if they don't like what one has to say...
I, as of this post, have not read anything overwhelming about libreoffice.. this switch is, at this point, not as bad a the fools over at KDE deciding without the use of a normal brain, to switch default file manager from konqueror to dolphin.. my Uncle Art ('unky') used to say, 'for free, take. to buy, shop around'... and Dad said, 'if it's free you can't *****, especially if you contributed nothing'....

I am using some unstable set of kde packages with opensuse 11.2-i586, at the moment the version number is
KDE 4.4.62 (KDE 4.5 >= 20100203).
That I have these packages is due to some misconfiguration / error, and I would like to replace them with something stable, say kde 4.4.1. I had a look into yast, found an option like "use these (kde 4.4) packages as system packages", but run into numerous compatability issues afterwards so that I can't make the switch.
So my question is: How can I replace the unstable kde 4.5 packages with kde 4.4.1? I don't know suse very well, so if there is some step-by-step description available somewhere

I'm growing tired of Gnome and KDE and wish to move towards a more lightweight and customizable interface. I chose Xfce. I downloaded all (I think) the packages related to Xfce but now I'm stumped as to how to actually run it as a default. I might want to try it a couple times first though. Is this possible?

I read somewhere that you cannot have Gnome 2 and Gnome 3 installed on the same system at the same time.
