Change from KDE display manager to Gnome display manager

June 5, 2008 5:54 pm

I recently tried the new KDE 4.1 desktop. This desktop has enormous potential. However, currently it is still in its BETA stage and has too many bugs to be used as a production desktop. When installing the desktop I switched to the KDE display manager. I removed the desktop and found that the KDE display manager was still the default. I searched the web to find this easy solution.

Go to a terminal and type:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm

Follow the prompt and you can set the Gnome display manger (gdm) as the default.

Let me know if you have any questions.
