Post # 295277
 Changing from KDE to XFCEI'm trying to change the desktop environment as I don't really get on very well with KDE.
I followed the instructions in http://www.mepis.org/docs/en/index.php? ... nvironment (although the folder stated didn't exist) by making the folder and issuing ln -s /usr/share/xsessions/xfce4.desktop /usr/share/apps/kdm/sessions/xfce4.desktop The instructions go on to say "click on "Menu" button -> select "Session Type" -> select the desired desktop environment" but there is no such option in my menu. Instead, I clicked on Menu > Login Window and changed "default session" to xfce, but doing this doesn't change the behaviour and KDE appears as usual. I imagine I'm missing some essential step here so if anyone could point me in the right direction I'd be grateful. _________________ Dell Inspiron 640m, WinXP, Linux Mint, Mepis 8.5 |

Re: Changing from KDE to XFCE Oops. Helps if you haven't disabled automatic login for yourself. Then the options for the desktop are under "session".
