https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=338442 Summary: opensuse updater makes kde and X a brick Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.2 Status: NEW Severity: Blocker Priority: P5 - None Component: Update Problems AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: michael.dreher@gmx.net QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Customer on September 15, 2007, I installed all the updates offered by the opensuse updater. Then everything was fine and I was happy. On October 28, 2007, I installed all the new updates offered by the opensuse updater again (about 25 patches). The result is that I can not use X or kde anymore as an ordinary user. The symptoms: at the kdm prompt, I type in my user name and password. After clicking enter and waiting for an unusually long time, I see a blank background (the typical kde background or the typical menu bars will not appear), and I see the icons from ~/Desktop/ . That is all I can do: admiring these beautifully painted icons. Clicking on them produces nothing (no program will be started that way). Clicking on the background gives no reaction. Typing Alt+F2 for quickstarting at least one application does not work. The typical control bar from which I can choose many applications does not appear. In total: this system is completely useless for ordinary users. And not only this system: I have two computers in my appartment, and I lost both of them to this bug. However, working as root is OK, and I can use all the applications I want. I reverted already to the versions prior September 15 the following packages: * linux kernel * kde * xorg This does not change the situation one jota, the bug is still there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
