Re: [SLE] KDE hangs after initializing peripherals

Dear Pat Thanks for the ideas but they both did not work. With a renamed /.kde and or an empty /tmp the result is the same. Hanging and no elegant way to get out. Forgot to telll that the same happens in root and in three other users I created. Is there a way to find out which peripherals are checked in order to find out empirical what is causing the trouble?
Ok, another thought then, what external peripherals do you have hanging off your machine, other than a mouse or keyboard? Have you tried maybe to unhook those things to see if one of them is misbehaving or the cable to it? Have you updated KDE lately or made changes there? How about your kernel, changed that recently? I would trace back to the point that things were working and determine what I have done since.
Dear Pat Sound idea but I raelly cannot remember what and where I have changed things. Must be the age ;-). Unhooking things sounds great but I think I shouldreboot after each unhooking I suppose or can I use hwscan for that? The last time KDE worked was as my powersupply striked. The negative 5 volt and 12 volt part moved 20% further down. Had my powersupply changed and think that after that exchange kde stopped functioning. Cannot remember exactly because at that time I was not looking for any connection with regard to hardware. Remeber also that yast2 update downloade a new kernel but as my download was very slow I cannot remeber if it was completely downloaded and upgraded. How could I find out? -- NTReader v0.36w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.

Well, it's easy enough to check your kernel update with rpm -q k_deflt or k_athlon, whatever fits your setup. If the new kernel had misfired, you wouldn't be booting up at all though. The new kernel will be 2.4.20-96 for the version. I am guessing you have corrected your power supply problem and if not have you tried a new one? The motherboards today and power supplies are quite a bit more sensitive to irregular changes than in the past, so both should be functioning without problems. Try the hardware unplugging first then go from there. I would unhook everything external and then start connecting until the error came back. That way you will know right away if something external is causing the problem.
