Hi,
I know I can switch from gnome to kde or xfce from GUI login page. But I have a remote machine running centos 6.2 which can only be connected via ssh, how can I switch it to kde or xfce? Thank you. Kind regards, Jupiter |

You aren't using any of the graphical desktops if you are connecting remotely through ssh, so "switching" would be meaningless.

Edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop:
DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" Cheers. |

Yes. I do believe that there is a command "switchdesk" in package "switchdesk", which might do the edit for you.
However, I would disagree with the terminology of: Quote: I know I can switch from gnome to kde or xfce from GUI login page. The "GUI login page", the login/display manager, may let you choose a desktop for your session. Switching on the other hand affects what desktop starts if you do not choose. |
