starting gnome instead of KDE

[justy]

Hi,
I installed both KDE and Gnome on my Debian system. Now KDE is started by default, but I would like a chooser or Gnome to be started instead. startx-gnome did not work, it started kde.

The other thing: I would like to get a fluxbox on my machine and therefore installed the fluxbox-kde package. How can I start it

use update-rc.d to delete kdm from teh default runlevel and add gdm to the default runlevel.

the way you add fluxbox to one of the login managers depends on which login manager you are using.

the files you need to look at are in /etc/X11/Sessions

if you want to use KDE or Gnome with Flux, there are instructions on how to do so on the flux website (in general, you will have to kill the default WM for Gnome/KDE and start up Flux, or set it up to load in stead of Gnome/KDE's default WM), as well as any other information you would require to get flux running.

i suggest reading the folowing document on debian : http://qref.sourceforge.net/
