stratotak · 2006-01-08 23:51:00

just installed arch and new to it..mainly used Debian..is there a front end to pacman ..like a synaptic to apt-get??also how do i get kde to boot at start..i have added kdm to daemons list in rc.config but when i start reboot and tried it out it sais something about "kdm..unrecognized command"..i can type kdm at console and kde starts up..so how do i get kde to start up with out having to type kdm in console??..thanks..

there's loads of frontends for pacman, no official ones. Do a forum search to find some.

Does the file /etc/rc.d/kdm exist?

Depending on how you are setup, you might need to put an entry in your ~/.xinitrc file, too:

startkde

yeah..kdm is in the /etc/rc.d folder..

Dusty · 2006-01-09 00:03:57

does '/etc/rc.d/kdm start' work as root?

stratotak · 2006-01-09 00:09:42

yeah..log in as root at console then enter kdm and kde fires up..

this is how i have it entered in rc.conf.......is it right??

# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Daemons to start at boot-up (in this order)
# - prefix a daemon with a ! to disable it
# - prefix a daemon with a @ to start it up in the background
#
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond)
kdm

# End of file

No, it needs to be part of your daemons array.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond kdm)
