How do I start GNOME?
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions 6.0 to 6.1
Situation:
You want to start GNOME. You are unable to select GNOME as a
default windowmanager in YaST.
Procedure:
Unlike KDE, GNOME does not have its own Windowmanager. The current method
for utilizing the panel in GNOME is as follows:
- Start a windowmanager such as enlightenment, fvmw2, windowmaker or afterstep.
- Open up an xterm and type the command "
panel
" to start the GNOME panel.
If you are recieving error messages indicating that "All fallbacks
failed". Then you should review the sdb article http://www.suse.de/Support/sdb_e/ke_gnome-imlib.html
