KDM 4.7 should export DESKTOP_SESSION=foo, where foo is the name of the desktop file foo.desktop.

UP ! This bug has been reported 2 months 1/2 ago. It prevents starting Ubuntu's main Unity environment from KDM. So it should be rated CRITICAL. A 4-lines script fix has been proposed in comment #6. This fix works and would be trivial to package.

[Bug 772486] Re: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM
Could this line be added to the file by default in the package? I have the option to log in automatically set in KDM and I tried to log in to Unity just to find that I couldn't get the unity interface at all. I couldn't even log out and the only possibility was to kill kdm and start again but as it tries to resume the last session I get stuck and I can't use KDM. I don't think I'm the only one that could be affected by this problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772486 Title: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/772486/+subscriptions -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
[Bug 772486] Re: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM
I did some more playing around with this and I found my GDMSESSION variable is set to default. If I add: export GDMSESSION=$DESKTOP_SESSION if [ $GDMSESSION = default ] ; then export GDMSESSION=gnome fi then Unity will start correctly. It doesn't seem to cause any problems if the session type is changed prior to login either. I'm not sure why just 'export GDMSESSION=$DESKTOP_SESSION' doesn't work for me, but I've tested this over several 11.04 x86_64 installs now using a clean (no data/config in the $HOME directory) account. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772486 Title: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/772486/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 772486] Re: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM
Setting 'export GDMSESSION=$DESKTOP_SESSION' at the top of /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession didn't work for me. It appeared I already had compiz-gnome, unity, and compiz-core installed, so I didn't bother with that step. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772486 Title: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 772486] Re: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM
This is how I managed to start unity from KDM: 1) aptitude install unity compiz-gnome apparently unity needs compiz-core to run, but it does not require it on its dependencies and it is not installed by default on a kubuntu-desktop machine. 2) add 'export GDMSESSION=$DESKTOP_SESSION ' on top of /etc/kde4/kdm/Xsession this is executed by kdm at user's login and fixes the environment variable issue. This worked perfectly for me and I hope can help all KDE fans to enjoy the brand new, and much discussed, user interface. By the way can $DESKTOP_SESSION be a candidate for a DM independent variable? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772486 Title: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your bug report and help to make ubuntu better. We base all our session switching on the GDMSESSION variable, this has to be switche to something else in oneiric generic between all DM (even lightdm?). ** Package changed: unity (Ubuntu) = compiz (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: compiz (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Also affects: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: kdebase-workspace (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed ** Also affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gdm (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kdebase-workspace in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/772486 Title: [Natty] Unity will start from GDM, not from KDM -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
