OpenOffice also hangs, and it used to work, too. It still works from another SuSE 8.2 installation in an old "test" partition on this machine. It also works on my computer at work, which has an identical "user.sel" rpm list except for a different kernel (k_deflt) and a different version of release-notes.
The last time I ran YOU, I couldn't see any new patches available to download, but clicked "accept" anyway, and was told it was downloading a KDE security patch. This was taking forever over my modem, and I was nervous about not knowing why it should be downloading anything, so I aborted.
Memtest86 shows no problems.
Can anyone shed some light on these problems?
Peter, I thought I was the only one having such weird problems with the printers. A similar thing has happened to me at least twice so far. One solution that worked for me was to go into Yast and remove all cups software, then do an install from the original cd's. After that I have upgraded the cups stuff and it still works. Dont have any idea what the problem is but this solution worked. I had tried to let Yast remove and reinstall the CUPS stuff via the Printer install options which didnt help so as a last resort I did the manual thing and it worked. Another problem that I have encountered with the printer my HP USB printer, alll of a sudden it would quit sending the qued jobs to the printer, and I couldn't delete those jobs even as root. I got an error saying I didnt have the correct permissions. Eventually the manual deletion and reinstall solved that problem. Maybe this will help you. Richard
