Code:sudo apt-get install kdm
Anybody able to boot straight into KDE?
I thought I would just change my runlevel, but it turns out Ubuntu doesn't have an "inittab" file. So I do some web searching, and I learn that Ubuntu uses something called "Upstart" instead of using the init system ???
I've also tried adding a number to the end of my kernel in my grub file:
(Notice the 5 at the end)Code:/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.29.4 root=/dev/sda3 ro quiet splash 5
But that had no effect, it still booted into the command line. (And yes I did run grub-install afterwards).
Can someone put me out of my misery please? How can I get BT4-PreFinal to boot straight into KDE?

kdm-kde3 ...unless of course you want to install 40 megabytes of stuff to do with KDE4

Sorry, that was the command that I used in BT4 Beta. Im assuming that the repositories used by PreFinal consider kde 4 as the default kde version?Originally Posted by Virchanza

No, I tried it just there, it tries to get the KDE4 version unless you explicitly specify "-kde3".
Anyway, here's what I get after it installed:
Doesn't look healthy.Code:Install these packages without verification [y/N]? y Preconfiguring packages ... Selecting previously deselected package kdm-kde3.

So, were you able to convince BT4 to boot directly into KDE?
Did I understand correctly that a complete kde3-install via apt-get should make it possible?! That sounds a bit like an overkill to me...
Any help is greatly appreciated!

All you need to do is:
Next time you boot up, it'll go straight into KDE.Code:apt-get install kdm-kde3
