Hello All,

I recently installed LXDE. My current default desktop is KDE4. I have set autologin in KDE4.

I want to make LXDE as the default Desktop and want to be able to autologin.  Please help me how can I set it this way.

Could you clarify the following:

Have you LXDE installed as a 2. system on a different partition or have you just installed the desktop environment additional to your KDE install?

Have you tried logging out and then selecting the LXDE desktop?

In PCC > Boot > Set up autologin to automatically log in > Default desktop - drop down menu > choose LXDE. This is if you have installed task-lxde. Have you?

You can also do this from the log-in screen if you click on session type and select LXDE. Thi will then become the default desktop.

Yes, but it doesn't set it for autologin.

Sorry for incomplete information. I used the task-lxde way.

I have not tried any of the suggestion yet. But I am directly taken to LXDE by default (which I logged in to when I shutdown my computer last time). That is cool.

Thanks for all

They way I do it is to set autologin and if I need to change desktop I boot as normal the logout, change desktop using session type and log back in. It's messy but I don't do this very often so it works for me and logging out and logging in is very quick. If I was going to do this on a regular basis i would disable autologin.
