woohoo...im a hapy n00b...here is a little tut on installing XPde desktop! ohmy.gif

I have debian installed on my xbox with kde and kdm manager so this is how i did it on my system.

Download XPde:

http://www.xpde.com/modules.php?name=Downl...wdownload&cid=2

Extract the .tar.gz file with this command (i downloaded the file in root):

tar xvzf xpdeXXXXXXX.tar.gz

Change the current directory to the one is created (cd xpde-0.3.0)

u should be logged in as root if not log in as root now

Once logged in as root execute the install script

./install.sh

This script will create all the directory structure and will also
copy all the files to the default locations.

Now, as a normal user, execute the setup.sh script, this script
will copy the default desktop settings to your ~/.xpde directory
and also will copy xinitrcDEFAULT file to your HOME dir, this
file contain the lines you must add to your system to load XPde.
In most cases you just need to rename this file to .xinitrc

renaming the file will load the commands for xpde in /opt/xpde/bin

I had kdm installed and when i tried doing startx it said device in use at device0 or some shit then i figured that i needed to kill kdm so it wouldnt be in use hehe so this is what u need to do if you have kdm installed:

Go to the main terminal (alt-ctrl-F1) and login as root with pass and run this command: killall kdm then startx and XPde will then load and i almost shit my pants because im a n00b and figured it out jester.gif

right now this is basically a replacement for x window system which is good because XPde still has some bugs such as lauching programs only from run command and such and my kde still boots up fine when i start my xbox and if i want XPde i just startx.
