Desktop Manager & OS Upgrades

A few people have had problems with the settings of their desktop manager (i.e. KDE, Gnome, WindowMaker) after upgrading their systems to Mandriva 2006.0. The quickest solution is to reset your desktop-manager settings to the default.

  1. logout and return to login window
  2. press Ctrl-Alt-F1
  3. login
  4. enter the following commands:
    mkdir .old
    mv .kde* .gnome* .GNUstep .old
    exit
  5. press Ctrl-Alt-F7
  6. login
