Centos 6: howto install and run KDE

08-25-2011, 06:41 PM

On my laptop, I have not been able to get KDE to run; I
always get gnome. I installed selecting KDE, and I tried
yum groupinstall, which appeared to work, but I still get
gnome running. BTW, I boot to level 3, and run startx.

Thanks for your suggestions.
Mike.

KDE has an easy option to change window managers. Gnome is doing their
best to prevent you from doing so.

yum -y remove gnome* gdm*
