Addendum: Erik, It just occurred to me that you might be able to restore your system by using the "Repair Installed System" option after booting the installer from your CD/DVD. Or, another alternative: - Boot to run level 3, log in as root, run "yast" in ncurses (text) mode. - Remove the installation sources that you added following the article. - Refresh the installation sources again. - Open the 'Software Management' module. This is where it becomes a chore, since you're in text mode: - Explore the menus using Tab and Shift+Tab (forward and back) - Highlight "Filters", use your down arrow to highlight "Installed Packages" - PgDn and PgUp scrolls you through the list of installed packages. - Find each package where the installed version is *newer* than the one that is available from your original sources, highlight "Actions", arrow down to "Update" and hit "Enter" to select the package for "updating." (In this case, it really means "reinstall the previous version") - Once you are satisfied that all the "bleeding edge" packages have been selected for replacement with earlier versions, Tab to "Accept" and hit Enter. I can't guarantee this will fix every problem, but there's a good chance it will get the system back to a more usable condition so you can iron out the remaining problems from your desktop. Good luck! - Carl
