Ubuntu :: Change Default KDM Session?
Jun 23, 2010
So, I just installed Kubuntu 10.04, and couldn't let things be, so I installed GNOME, and plan to install a few other desktop environments for fun later. However, when I installed GNOME (apt-get install ubuntu-desktop), I realized that KDM's default session is whatever session you used last time. I'd rather it simply be KDE, since I know I'll be using it most out of any of the others. How can I make the KDM default session be KDE, instead of whatever the previous session was?

I can't change the default session on the login screen to Openbox. The only place I can see to change this in 10.04 is in the "login" settings screen. I've done that; I still get "gnome" as the default option when I go to log in.

I installed Fedora 12 LXDE spin and its default session was LXDE. Then I downloaded XFCE and tried to change the default session of GDM to XFCE. I edited ~/.dmrc and /etc/sysconfig/desktop but this didn`t change anything. I was unable to find where GDM stores its default setting.
Is there any way to change GDM default session?
And more important: is there any way to make GDM to store different default sessions for different users?

I have got Ubuntu with Xfce installed, and I would like to change default session to Gnome, or LXDE (depending on if my computer would run it properly). Looks like there is no options button while logging in, or anything similar.

I would like to make LXDE the default desktop for ALL USERS on my LTSP clients. There are about 60 users so far.On my server, LXDE is default for everyone.But on the clients, each user has to change to LXDE individually. How can I make LXDE default on all clients?I've been looking through the forums all day, but could not find an answer to this question, so hopefully we can get an answer and my title will help others.

In my login screen settings, I accidentally swithed from GNOME to the recovery terminal. I can boot to x fine in recovery mode, but I can't change the screen settings from here.
How do I change it back to GNOME?

I need to change my keyboard layout from Arabic to USA. I cannot login to my machine, however I can access its files via a live session.
Is there a text file I can edit that will change my keyboard layout.
I am running Ubuntu 8.10 with a Gnome desktop.
I have tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf and this did not work.

I'm currently using Fedora 11 Gnome and I installed the Kde core desktop. However, when I logged out there was no way I could change the session. I installed kdm, but after searching on google I found out that i need to change /etc/sysconfig/desktop to make kdm the default login manager. However, such a file did not exist. How can I change my session?

I had chosen automatic logon. Then updated to 10.04. During logout to change Desktop Environment/Session, I noticed that GDM login screen had an option for KDE session although I had not installed KDE. I got curious. So I tried it. System hangs. Restart does not help because somehow gdm proceeds to the KDE session although I did not choose it to be default session. So I had only CLI left.
I got over it by stopping gdm (/etc/init.d/gdm stop) and removing gdm and installing xdm. Anyway, what is the proper way? How to order desktop environment from CLI and/or where is the default desktop environment option written in a file?

Is there a way (In the terminal or script file) to change the session during login? The login screen I have in Ubuntu 10-10 only allows for name and password, no other options. Is there a way to change the login screen? I downloaded some new login screens but don't know how to change the current gnome.desktop session to something else and I DON'T want to get stuck in another login "Twilight Zone"

One of the greatest things about Linux, ( I'm currently using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS) is your ability to install more than one version of java. Ubuntu, and by default, comes loaded with OpenJdk, which is an open source version of Java. As I stated in a previous discussion, I had some issues to run glassfish with the OpenJdk, so I decided to install the "closed" version of Java directly from Sun microsystem's website ( Hosted by oracle nowadays).
After downloading the latest Java development kit(JDK) which also includes the Java Runtime Envirnonment (JRE), I installed it from the terminal. The java file I downloaded was a ".bin" file. I have explained in the previous discussion, how to install a .bin file.
The installer will extract all the contents of the ".bin" file to a folder in the same directory as of the ".bin" file. Assuming that you have extracted the contents of the ".bin" file to a folder on your Desktop called JAVA6, then the path to this folder would be:
/Desktop/JAVA6
after that go to your terminal window and do the following: sudo update-alternatives --install "/usr/bin/java" "java" "/Desktop/JAVA6/bin/java" 1
Then issue the following command:
sudo update-alternatives --set Desktop/JAVA6/bin/java
This should set your newly installed java as your default JVM and JRE.

Right now I dual boot Linux and Doze 7. As normal, grub appoints Ubuntu to be the OS highlighted to boot from. Is there a way to edit the boot list so that my Windows7 will boot automatically. Reason being my wife tends to get a little grumpy because she does not know which to choose from and does not like Ubuntu,,,yet.

On my netbook (I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix, 10.04) the default option in the Grub menu is Ubuntu. Problem: I'd prefer it to be Windows 7.
I've tried using Startup Manager, which I've used successfully in the past. The program loads fine and lets me change all of the options, and saves and closes fine. But when I restart, the bootloader begins with Ubuntu and a 10 second timeout instead of Windows 7 and a 3 second timeout.
I've also tried editing etc/default/grub and, again, I was able to change it and save it without a problem (default menu item: 4, default timeout: 3). I also did a 'sudo update-grub' to try to get it to stick.
Still nothing. Every time I start up the computer, it's set on Ubuntu 10.04 and a 10 second timeout.

On this particular machine I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 & Open SuSe from the first hard drive & LinuxMint 9 plus Mandriva 2010 on the second drive. I've found out from posting elsewhere on this site that the Ubuntu family & Suse use different versions of GRUB so one may not boot the other. Ubuntu's boots itself, Mint 9 & Suse but not Mandriva, Mandriva's boots itself & Suse, Suse returns the same favour. So my work-around has been to install the Mandriva bootloader onto a floppy & Ubuntu's onto the MBR.
Now, the issue is I want Mint 9 to be the default but when I try to edit the menu/ist file using gedit all I get is a blank page, no data.
