Does anyone have both KDE4 and KDE3 installed on the same system?

If you do, does your keyboard and mouse (in my case cordless, optical, Logitec) lock up - ie, simply freeze up - after 1 minute after login and the only way out is the big Red Button?

I don't have anything cordless installed, but I have both KDE3 and KDE4 installed on all 5 x86_64 (including 2 laptops) and 1 x86 box. Keyboards are either PS/2 or USB attached. All upgraded to 11.0-RC1 and not experiencing any problems with these configurations. Ideally it would be great if you had a second box networked where you could send pings, ssh, etc. to find out if the box is still alive but without those devices not functioning. Don't know if that will releive the need for more head scratching. Regards Sid.

Thanks, Sid, I'll now go looking for the reason for the 'freezing'.

Further to the above. I had to re-install RC1 -- and I am using the 32-bit version, BTW -- because of the 'freeze'; first I installed KDE4 which went OK (except for a few hassles) and then, a few minutes ago, installed KDE3 as the additional desktop. Sure enough- the keyboard/mouse locked up solid after a minute. Just to clear up any misunderstandings, my cordless/optical Logitech keyboard/mouse *is* USB connected. (See also below.) Now, following your advice, it is the mouse/keyboard which are seem to lock because I can ping the machine from the other computer. Out of curiosity, while the 'freeze' was on, I plugged in a USB flash disc -- and it did not even react to being plugged in, ie the light diode on it did not flash to indicate that the flash disc was being read or recognised as a device.

Ciao.

On some occasions a ping will work, but nothing else. With sshd running "rcsshd start" if it's not started at boot, "ssh " and see if it responds. That will be proof positive it's keyboard/mouse input loss. I installed both KDE3 and KDE4 at install time on the x86_box and I'm running under KDE3. I can switch to kde4 this evening to see if I get the problem. I just plugged in a USB stick which shows up in dmesg but isn't mounted. yasu:~ # uname -r 2.6.25-26-pae yasu:~ # rpm -qa|grep kde kdenetwork3-3.5.9-36 kdelibs4-doc-4.0.4-12 kdebindings3-ruby-3.5.9-44 kdepim3-notes-3.5.9-50 kdebase4-runtime-4.0.4-16 kde4-kgamma-4.0.4-11 kde4-kio_kamera-4.0.4-11 kdeartwork4-screensaver-4.0.4-11 kdeaddons3-kicker-3.5.9-4 kdemultimedia3-CD-3.5.9-40 kdelibs4-core-4.0.4-12 kdemultimedia3-arts-3.5.9-40 python-kde3-3.16.0-121 kde4-konsole-4.0.4-14 kde4-konqueror-plugins-4.0.svn767780-69 kde4-konqueror-4.0.4-14 kde4-ksudoku-4.0.4-12 kdegames4-carddecks-other-4.0.4-5 kdelibs3-3.5.9-44 kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE-11.0-68 compiz-kde-0.7.4-28 kdebase3-session-3.5.9-62 kdevelop3-3.5.1-45 kdebase4-workspace-4.0.4-18 kde4-kwalletmanager-4.0.4-14 kdebase3-SuSE-lang-11.0-114 etc. Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce ...
