half KDE half Gnome..help!!!

[bharat_r]

I was exploring SuSe 10.1 which had KDE
I ran the Search for files(Nautilus Search too)l which was located under
K-Menu->System->File manager

and from then on my desktop became half Gnome & half KDE & it looks bad...
See Pic:

How do I revert back to full KDE desktop..

Please Help!!

I dont understand, what so GNOME in this? :\

[praka123]

U can select keramik menu or any other from kde control centre that'll solve yor probs.

See the way the icons are...
& Konqueror is not being used to display folder contents when I click bharat's home on the desktop but uses it when I clik on the home icon next to K Menu

lol harsh, give another look at the screen, he's task bar is KDE but his his desktop is GNOME desktop. Icon for home folder is a dead give away of gnome.
I have faced this with xfce too. Just open the terminal and type
ps auxw | grep metacity
You will get two entries something like this

mehul 28954 0.0 1.2 15620 9472 pts/1 S 01:37 0:12 metacity
mehul 14266 0.0 0.1 2860 780 pts/0 S+ 10:04 0:00 grep metacity

Now issue this command

kill -9 28954
Replace 28954 with whatever number you get which I have marked in bold in the output.

And, you Konqueror only under KDE, in fact I find it as the best file manager, it can do a lot more than what nautilius can do.

I'm getting no such process:

bharat@linux-ycee:~> ps auxw | grep metacity
bharat 4560 0.0 0.1 2752 696 pts/1 S+ 10:16 0:00 grep metacity
bharat@linux-ycee:~> kill -9 4560
bash: kill: (4560) - No such process
bharat@linux-ycee:~>


& I got only 1 entry not 2....

[technomodel]

have you tried killing and then restarting X?..or else rebooting?

that should solve your problem..

[bharat_r]

I'm not able to kill atatll..I says no such process.
Also tried restarting but it starts in KDE & immediately switches to Gnome

[technomodel]

i dont understand...
u mean it is showing the KDE splashscreen and then going back to gnome desktop? or is it showing this mixed desktop again?

try
CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE..

[mehulved]

OK post the output of ps auxw.

@Tech_your_future, Looks like this guy (@Bharat) is running KDM & GDM simultaneously!!
I have never seen a Linux desktop like this!!

[eddie]

Your KDE session manager has saved Nautilus process and is autostarting it when you login to KDE. Instead of looking for metacity, look for nautilus using the command "ps auxw | grep nautilus" (without quotes) and then kill it.

Alternatively, you can pass the command "killall nautilus" (without quotes) to stop the nautilus process.
