Stop KDE from launching at boot 473

Robert Hull

FWIW - I have the exact *opposite* issue (I'd like to boot directly into KDE). After a Debian Sarge install (3.1r1, Kernel 2.6.8-2-386, KDE 3.3.2) onto my older PII with Dual Boot using GRUB and having win98 on the 1st 3 parbreastions of 1 HDD (Debian is on hda7,8,9,10,11 using ext3)

# The default runlevel. id:5:initdefault:

saved the changes and rebooted and STILL, I'm at the login prompt and have to enter pbuttwd and then use startx just to get KDE to load -- can you help ?

I set up the system with a 'root' and pbuttwd, and also a 'user' and pbuttwd -- when I boot from GRUB, I'm taken to the login prompt...where I can type 'root' or 'username', and then type in appropriate pbuttwd, .....and then startx.

BTW - After changingetc-inittab , and found it didn't work, I also then used visudo to alter sudoers to read;

user ALL= NOPbuttWD: ALL

Original is below that was edited, so 'user' can have sudo privileges -- before I installed sudo, 'user' wasn't even present, nor was there even a sudoers file. After installing sudo, the installer told me it created aetc-sudoers file

$ sudo catetc-sudoers Pbuttword: #etc-sudoers # # This file MUST be edited with the 'visudo' command as root. # # See the man page for details on how to write a sudoers file. #

# Host alias specification

# User alias specification

# Cmnd alias specification

# User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL) ALL user ALL=(ALL) ALL

note - that above - i still need to enter a Pbuttword when even using sudo
