Re: [LINUX_Newbies] changing session

Thanks for the reply, the version is 32bit, v9.04 and I do have more than one environment, gnome and kde 4.3.

Firstly every time when I change session to Kde, It doesn't ask me 'if you want this to be your default session'

And about the sound, it occurs when I press Play on Totem, or when there is an Alert Box! or Message Box etc.

Sounds like POM!( a drum Beat) and its annoying. In the system settings under System Notification s->Applications->KDE system Notifications; I have disabled all the sound yet I still have this annoying sound. I don't have this sound in gnome so I don't think gnome settings is messing with it (if such a feat is possible).

Thanks
Lawal. O

I am assuming that you have more than one desktop environment installed when
you use the session manager. Usually when you change sessions it asks you if
you want this one to be the default. If it asks this then say 'yes' when it
is KDE and 'no' for other desktops. As long as you don't switch it will
always be your default desktop environment, which will be the one that you
answered 'yes' to.

As for the sounds, I have no clue. I have never experienced this. Perhaps
you could elaborate and explain how often and duration. I would check the
system settings manager under Accessibility. It sounds like you have
something turned on that a disabled person would use.

BTW, next time tell which version of Kubuntu you are using, 9.04 or 9.10,
Jaunty or Karmic and 32 or 64-bit.
