Ubuntu

Gnome shutdown

Asked by djn1

I am running kubuntu with KDE and I recently installed Gnome, all was fine until my daughter pressed the off button while Gnome was logging out.

KDE works fine as before but when I choose Gnome it starts to load but just before all the toolbar icons apear on the desktop it switches back to the kubuntu log in screen.

How do I fix this?

hello
you can try the following steps:
Firstly Log out.

Press Control-Alt-F1

Log in.

Type
sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop
Then type:

sudo nano -B /etc/X11/default-display-manager

Change the line from /usr/bin/kdm to /usr/sbin/gdm Then save (Control-X, Y, Enter) and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm

then restart

Try it out and keep us informed.
