I just installed opensuse 10.2 on my Asus K8V-X SE with AMD Athlon 1800 running at 1533 MHz, 768MB, 120G hard drive. I have my drive partitioned with 2G swap, 2G /var, 20G /, and 87G /home. Usually I only burn CD1, abort the installation, and finish installation with the DVD iso in my home directory. This time, CD1 corrupted my grub, so I had to use another computer to burn the other two CD's and reinstall. Things seemed to go well until I logged onto the system after installation, whereupon the crash dialog box came up saying the front panel (kicker) had crashed with a signal 8, and I should notify the appropriate people of a possible bug in the application. All the KDE window manager stuff seems to have disappearted, but X runs fine, and I had a kterm running already, from which I can start, for instance, Konqueror, Firebird, and Thunderbird (which I'm using for this email). I have no application menu, and only the initial basic icons on the single desktop that seems to have survived the crash. I saved the detailed message tab text, and it's attached, in case it can help. How can I get KDE back up again? -- John Perry --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-amd64+help@opensuse.org
