https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227277 ------- Comment #4 from jdd@dodin.org 2006-12-09 09:13 MST ------- the problem may be more important that I though initially. Yast crashes, what ever module is in use, under gnome or kde :-(. What I did: init 3, yast (no problem), remove gnome, install kde, init 5 Kde was installed, but gnome was _not_ removed entirely (only extended gnome was uninstalled - not base) and gnome started always. I couldn't modify this in gnome with yast, always freeze. so init 3, yast, system, sysinit, desktop, replace gdm by kdm, gnome by kde. then init 5 kde starts. Yast, software, untick gnome base, accept two dependency problems (deleting the gnome utility) and yast begun to delete gnome... freeze :-( amways same freeze: no more mouse, ping ok, ssh don't I tested memory with memtest, no problem I have no idea... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It seems to be a hardware problem. After that try to repeat to uninstall the Gnome and to install the KDE. Please report if you are successful or not.

I couldn't know if this was not a result of the (multiple crashes), so I formated the drive (new partition table). the new install was done without LVM. /dev/hda1 swap, /dev/hda2 ext3 a complete fsck with block test didn't find anything wrong. I made a new fresh install of 10.2+kde, all nice I launch openoffice, no problem, at morinig after several hours running still, run fine. I lauch Yast to complete the update system install... freeze (no mouse) I can't do more right now (I'm out of office all the day). more later (I need to try openoffice with active work -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
