• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Changing default GUI?

I've just setup Fedora Core 3 on a new box of mine, and I was initially using GNOME but decided to install KDE as well. Now I want to use just KDE, but how do I change the default session from GNOME to KDE, so I don't have to select KDE everytime I log on? Thanks.
 
You should be able to set one or the other as the default in the login screen thing.
 
When I'm at the log in screen and I click "session" I only have four choices. GNOME, Default System Session (checked by default), KDE, and Failsafe Terminal. The Default System Session is GNOME and I haven't found anyway to change that.
 
my install is at home, but from memory you just need to modify /etc/sysconfig/desktop

display=KDE
displaymanager=KDM

or

mine's desktop=KDE


 
It's been a while... but isn't there a Desktop-Switcher tool or whatever it's called in the Tool... or System... or Preference... or whatever menu it's called....

Once you use it, you just logout... and that Desktop Environment will be set as your default.
