Does anyone know what file I should be looking in and what I will have to change?Quote:
KDE doesn't show the the shutdown
option when gdm (Gnome Display Manager) runs (This is standard when you just
installed RedHat and you boot into init 5). You will have to change the
display manager to KDM (KDE Display Manager), you can do this in some file
in /etc/X11R6/
what exactly are you trying to do?
just shutdown, or display a shutdown icon in KDE?
you could use shutdown -r now "shortcut icon", or, log off and shutdown from the login prompt thing.
I would like to enable the shutdown option when clicking logoff.
/etc/X11/prefdm
Do I have to set the environment variable $DISPLAYMANAGER??? If so how?Quote:
if [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = GNOME ]; then
preferred=gdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = KDE ]; then
preferred=kdm
elif [ "$DISPLAYMANAGER" = XDM ]; then
preferred=xdm
The prefdm script runs the preferred X display manager (gdm if you're running GNOME, kdm if you're running KDE, or xdm if you're running AnotherLevel) based on the contents of the /etc/sysconfig/desktop directory.
it will usually just have
desktop="GNOME"
or whatever
I had seen this but was unsure. You've been a great help thank you.
Just tried it restarted x/rebooted and nothing happened. The Red Hat login screen is still using gdm.
Trying to reply but AO is just editing my last post... Whats going on???
