Re: KDE how to start from console? No startkde found

make a .xinitrc file in you home dir, put exec startkde there and then run startx


If it ain't broke, broke it then fix it.

ditto that... I've been starting it that way for years now and no issues to report.

Hi, there , thanks for help. I see there are startxfce4 and startlxde there. GNOME has gnome-session to run with xinit. So I google and found there are a lot of mentions about startkde. Does startkde still work? Can't find anyway.

Yes, I should install kde instead of kdebase. startkde is included in kde. That is different.
Thanks very much!
