half KDE half Gnome..help!!!

bharat_r · 14-08-2006, 09:43 AM

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 · 14-08-2006, 10:02 AM

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

bharat_r · 14-08-2006, 10:04 AM

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

Code:

 ps auxw | grep metacity

You will get two entries something like this

Code:

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

Code:

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.

bharat_r · 14-08-2006, 10:16 AM

I'm getting no such process:

Quote:

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 · 14-08-2006, 10:33 AM

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

that should solve your problem..

bharat_r · 14-08-2006, 10:35 AM

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 · 14-08-2006, 10:50 AM

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 · 14-08-2006, 11:04 AM

Code:

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 · 14-08-2006, 10:31 PM

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.
