switch from KDE to GNOME for RHEL 6.3 ?

Latest response

Hi,

 

How do I switch from KDE to GNOME for RHEL 6.3 ?

I added "/etc/sysconfig/desktop" with

[root@RHEL6_3 sysconfig]# cat desktop
DESKTOP="GNOME"
DISPLAYMANAGER="GNOME"

to no avail.

I also checked out RH KB's such as : https://access.redhat.com/site/solutions/6641

to no avail....I don't know why it comes up with KDE ? BTW, I already have installed "X Window System" and "GNOME Desktop Enviroment" group. Have rebooted the box a few times to no avail.

I know it sounds dumb, but it still trumps me :-(

Hope someone can point me in right direction.

 

Thanks,

Dharmesh.

Never mind.

Installed the "desktop" portion via

[root@RHEL6_3]yum groupinstall desktop

and it installed the required packages and now system is booting into GNOME.

 

Thx,

Dharmesh.
 

Glad to hear you resolved it, Dharmesh, and thanks for sharing the fix here.
