I was trying to fix a printer problem and was distracted in the office when I was prompted to "insert the 9.1 dvd", so I dutifully did so.
The problem is that my notebook is 9.0!
Somehow Suse "remembered" that I had once loaded the 9.1 dvd into the drive and then aborted the upgrade. Sigh.
I looked back and noted that far more than a printer driver was loading ... lots more.
I know I am in trouble because when the screensaver times- in the security setting I get a message that essentially says it will not engage and require a password because the computer could not resume due to a missing something or other ... sorry, I did not write down the exact text.
Is there a way to back out of the partial 9.1 load or am I committed to run the thing and hope I still have a usable notebook with my addresses, bookmarks, documents, etc. still intact and accessible?
If so should I restart and see what I have or reinsert the 9.1 dvd and do an intentional upgrade?
I had planned to do the upgrade Wednesday, after I backed everything up to an external usb drive. I had wanted to do a clean load vs an upgrade ... sigh.
Thanks in advance! dmc
It is worse than it first appeared. I cannot use the Home icon on the desktop, nor get to Terminal. I get tons of errors trying to access the memory card from the desktop icon, though it does eventually get me to Konqueror with a sda1 folder icon.
