Hi,
My system is SuSE 9,3 with a 32-bit processor. The Graphic card is a Rage 128. On Saturday (or Sunday morning) I applied the outstanding YOU Security patches. I think they were: - mozilla - MozillaFirefox - xli - qt3 - gnome-filesystem - acroread The kdebase3 update had already been applied by this stage.
The system worked just fine until I powered down. The next time I tried to use the system, startx took me into some other window-manager. The most important message (just after /etc/X11/xorg.conf was loaded) was:
(EE) R128(0): No DFP detected
Backing out all of the updates by reverting /home, /usr, /opt, /etc, /var, /bin, /sbin and /lib (maybe 1 or 2 directories more) fixed the problem.
Going forwards again was just the same - everything worked just fine after the update, until I powered down and restarted. Running sax2 did not help either.
Has anyone been confronted with this before?
Yeah, me too. Suse 9.3 is the most unstable version ever. I've had lots of trouble. Konqueror is a disaster(and I speak of konqueror just only on 9.3, because under suse 9.2 /kde/konqueror-3.4 worked ever fine for me). For me the main problems are: 1-konqueror every five minutes 2-kdelibs/konqueror can't resolved apropiately dns after you log out and in again kdession(this happends only, it seems, to user who have a local server running, kpf for example) as a result of this, konqueror is unable lo load images and web pages correctly, and sometimes complains of not finding domains 3-Yast breaks kde, so you have to bring X up by hand, or get back to the rpms in the installation DVD. 4-Some encrypted cd/dvds are not shown and red correctly, so you have I have to go to ma wife's suse 9.2 notebook to be able to get retrieve data. 5-monitor and graphic card values are handled awfully, so from time to time you get a "colorfull-multi-line-divided" desktop, and have to restart x, allways fearing the os has destroyed your hardware. and so on I've been using suse for several years now, and I think(I can say with responsability) that suse 9.3 is-- although the boldest release ever(technically speaking)--the most unstable till date regards jorge
