X-Window-System & Gnome's KDM?

Krimzen85 · 08-05-2009, 01:30 PM

Hey all,

I finally got Linux Server installed and running successfully on my first server. I have no network connectivity right now, so I can install a GUI, but when I do, I have a question:

It is my understanding that X-Window-System comes with a login manager. If this is correct, then I don't need to install Gnome's KDM manager right? Thats just wasting needless space?

If not, does anyone know the sudo command to get Gnome KDM. I know the Gnome-core code, but I don't know the Gnome Kdm code.

Also, I have to download "TCP Viewer v2.82" onto these Servers. I have done a search for the correct get-apt format, but I cannot find it. Does anyone know the sudo command to install this software?

Hi,

You are seems to have the most of it but there is some things that you are a little off on. There isn't a Gnome KDM. There is Gnome Desktop Manager (GDM), and a KDE Desktop Manager (KDM). I do know that you area able to change the init level from 1 to 5 so that you don't have a login screen.

As for installing programs you would use the command

Code:

sudo apt-get

I don't know of a TCP viewing program for linux unfortunately.

Cheers!
