On debian 32 etch/sid I am trying from a few days frustratingly to prevent kde from starting at the command <startx>. I already asked for advice but the problem was not solved. I am posing the question again because the position may have been blurred from repeated e-mails.
What I want is the X-system (which is what I normally need in combination with Open Motif) and the possibility to start kde from <startkde> only when I need it. Today I updated xserver-org. What I have is: X-Window System version 7.0.0 X Protocol Version 11 Rev 0 Release 7.0 I removed gdm and xdm with command #apt-get remove gdm kdm xdm Now the system boots to text but <startx> launches both X and, unwillingly, also kde. I forgot before the last step to reconfigure; see what happens: debian:/home/francesco# dpkg -reconfigure kdm dpkg: conflicting actions --control and --remove Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*]; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files; Type dpkg --license for copyright license and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*]. Options marked [*] produce a lot of output - pipe it through `less' or `more' ! debian:/home/francesco# I understand that there is a conflict but I am unable to solve it. Help please.
