Starting GNOME2
I have installed Gnome 2,in /opt/gnome using GARNOME and I would like to be able to choose it when I log in (graphical login) from the dropdown menu.I read some that I have to create a script in the /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions folder,with the folowing content:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
export GDK_USE_XFT=1
PATH=/opt/gnome/bin:$PATH
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig
export PATH PKG_CONFIG_PATH
exec /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-session
All the paths are correct and I have added "/opt/gnome/lib" to ld.so.conf (like I read there).But the gnome2 option doesnt appear in the dropdown menu for the Session-Type.How can I add it?I have tried the KDE login manager and adding gnome2 to the list (which did add it to the dropdown menu),but when I select gnome2 as session type it just starts KDE.
Does anyone know how I can add it to the menu and actually make it start gnome2?
