I type startkde and it cant connect to x server

I dont know how to start gnome but i think i installed that right

i type startx and i get a really crappy xwindows

So how do i get kde or gnome to work???

Instead of typing startx (which will start X's default WM which is Tvwm, iirc), try


start gnome-session (for GNOME)

or

startkde (for KDE)

GNOME or KDE will start X automatically.

Or you could use a DM (gdm or kdm or xdm) as also suggested, or edit your ~/.xinitrc as suggested.
