Hie there I tried to install KDE (K desktop), removing GNOME desktop and all its utilities from Linux Ubuntu since I wanted some nice features from Fedora...... After rebooting.. Only the shell comes up.. the GUI is not starting... where could I be going wrong.. After converting .rpm files from the fedora disc to .deb using "alien",I installed all the core KDE files...listed below : amarok arts compiz-kde digikam gpgme im-chooser caffeine kde-settings-pulseaudio kdeaccessibility kdeaddons kdeartwork kdebase kdegraphics kdegraphics-extras kdemultimedia kdenetwork kdepim kdeutils kdmtheme kftgrabber kipi-plugins knetworkmanager conversation kpowersave ktorrent pinentry-qt scim-qt.. scribus xdg-utils xdg-users-dirs xine-lib-arts zenity Is there a registry setting somewhere, which needs to be edited, to point to the new GUI (KDE).

If you want to keep that computer, you need more memory. http://www.crucial.com/ -- Steve -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
