           Summary: Installation from 11.2 64-bit KDE LiveCD does not
                    install desktop properly
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 11.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: openSUSE 11.2
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: AutoYaST
        AssignedTo: ug@xxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: jacobdm1011@xxxxxxxxx

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US)
AppleWebKit/532.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/4.0.223.16 Safari/532.3

After installing 11.2 from the Live CD (and the "auto-configuration") and
rebooting, it boots to a black screen with a white terminal "window" (I can't
move, resize, or otherwise interact with it, so I'm not sure it's a traditional
window) in the upper-left corner of the screen where the "desktop" window would
normally be on the LiveCD desktop. I can type in the terminal, but I don't know
enough about the command-line to do much. :-\  When my mouse cursor is over the
black space, it has the X-Windows "X" pointer, rather then the normal arrow
pointer.  Neither right or left clicking in the black space seems to do
anything.  

I'm guessing that KDE was either not installed properly, or is not being
started on boot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot with the KDE LiveCD in the tray
2.Boot to the CD.
3.Install openSUSE 11.2 (either from LiveCD desktop or straight from boot menu;
I tried both)  I have a ext4 root partition, a ext4 home partition, and a swap
partition.  There are other partitions that are not mounted (Windows XP and
Ubuntu)
4.When prompted, allow the computer to reboot and remove CD
5.Wait for auto-configuration to complete

Actual Results:  
At this point it will boot to the faulty desktop that was described above. 
Also, rebooting and booting to the openSUSE installation from the GRUB menu
will still return to this same desktop.

Expected Results:  
It should have booted to a normal desktop like I saw running on the LiveCD.
