Hi all. I have a strange problem with my SuSE 9.0 box. The problem happens now and then: When I log on as a user at the KDE login prompt, the login dialog box disappears and the system COMPLETELY freezes. All the services STOP and I can't get in contact with it, so the only thing I can do is power it off manually and reboot the machine which I don't like doing!
This doesn't happen everytime, but I have noticed that it happens after I have done the following: 1) the machine boots into runlevel 3 2) I issue a "telinit 5", log in to the GUI
Instead of issuing init5 use startx instead.
Thanks. I will try that in the future. When I am in KDE and want to shut that down to free up memory, what should issue, telinit 3 ?
Why not the other way. Always boot in runlevel 3. When you need KDE, login and startx. When you finish, just logout from the button. It will shut down KDE and bring you back in CLI. Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
