Full Desktop mode on the Asus Eee PC (Xandros) - All Ultra-Portable

**flamesay** · 19/03/2009, 18:14

The appearance at the end of the trick is this:

The steps are:

Press Ctrl + Alt + T to open a terminal
Type "sudo bash" to gain root access
Type "apt-get update" to ensure that the entire system is updated
Type "apt-get install kicker" and responds with a "y" when asked if you want to install kicker
Type "apt-get install ksmserver" and answers "and" when asked if you want to install ksmserver
Type "exit twice to exit the root mode

After doing all the steps, you have enabled Full Desktop mode on your Eee PC to access it, you must close all applications and go to shutdown icon and you will get a window like this:

Select Full Desktop and do a mini-reboot the system and entering a more "professional" KDE (remember that by default the system comes on EasyMode)
Best of all, it gives you many more options in Full Desktop (features not available in EasyMode) and allows you to enter the KDE Control Panel

After you install the Full Desktop mode, you will have used a few MB of your disk SSD (approximately 2 or 3MB)
One thing to note and remember is that whenever you start your Eee PC, will join EasyMode, but it takes only seconds to switch to Full Desktop.
