Gnome won't start

[StarMoose]

startx always takes me to KDE, and graphical logins do not work. I have no idea what to do. Can anyone help me?

Also, anyone know how to mount a novell acount?

Try xwmconfig at the console to change your default desktop. Or, try creating a file i nyour home directory called .xinitrc, or .xsession if you use a GUI login. Fill it in with:

#!/bin/sh
exec startgnome

I think.If using Red Hat, try editing /etc/system/desktop

.xinitrc yes, startgnome no. Create or edit the file .xinitrc in your home directory and add

exec gnome-session

I don't think you even need the exec in there but it doesn't hurt.

Thanks, that worked, although now that I have tried it I like KDE better (although that may be because it is more customized to my tastes)
