I can't find this anywhere, although related issues are to be found all over the net.
Here is my issue. I will simplify is as much as possible.Still all this might confuse you:
- I installed Ubuntu netbook 10.04.
- I put Kubuntu next to it, by installing "kubuntu netbook". I chose gdm for logging in.
- This works perfect. I can use Ubuntu or Kubuntu on signing in.
This is my config A
- Later I changed gdm to kdm through "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm".
This is my config B.
Under config A:
I can choose several options on login, among which Ubuntu netbook and Kubuntu netbook (kde). Both work well, but I cannot close down from Kubuntu. I have to log out and return to the login screen, from where I can close down.
Under config B:
I get the same choice of login options, among which Ubuntu netbook. BUT when I choose that option, I am sent to Ubuntu desktop (Ubuntu with Gnome desktop) instead of Ubuntu netbook.
(Tried a dozen times)
From there (Ubuntu desktop) I can close down, log out etc. But Ubuntu netbook is not available.
When I login to Kubuntu netbook under config B, I also have all the options to log out, close down etc., contrary to config A, that only lets me only log out of Kubuntu netbook.
I now went back to config A, because I want to be able to use Ubuntu netbook, and everything is as it was.
However: I would prefer config B, because I would like to be able shut down from Kubuntu, as well as from Ubuntu, but I would also like to use Ubuntu netbook.
Anybody? A bug in kdm?
