View Full Version : [SOLVED] Two Xsessions starting up

I uninstalled latest kdm and installed legacy v2.2 kdm so that I can make my login look like Apple MAC OSX etc....

Now there are two sessions starting
Default kdm on :0
Default gdm on :1

I disabled kdm daemon, even went as far as uninstalling it (wouldn't boot up until kdm was reinstalled).
Something is still starting up two X sessions!?!?!?


Anyone know where I can go looking for the cause of dual start and disable the 1st one?

Thanks!

Figured it out myself.

Noticed that gdm has /etc/X11/default-display-manager and gdm-2.20 removes it.
Both kdm and gdm check there to see if they are the default before starting up.
Since they can't find it, they both start up.

Soltution is:

sudo echo "/usr/sbin/gdm" > /etc/X11/default-display-manager
