Hi all. I have a strange problem with my SuSE 9.0 box. The problem happens now and then: When I log on as a user at the KDE login prompt, the login dialog box disappears and the system COMPLETELY freezes. All the services STOP and I can't get in contact with it, so the only thing I can do is power it off manually and reboot the machine which I don't like doing!
This doesn't happen everytime, but I have noticed that it happens after I have done the following: 1) the machine boots into runlevel 3 2) I issue a "telinit 5", log in to the GUI
Instead of issuing init5 use startx instead.
Thanks. I will try that in the future. When I am in KDE and want to shut that down to free up memory, what should issue, telinit 3 ?
No, just log out and you will go back the original terminal window you used for startx.
Thanks for all the feedback. I understand how it works now. :-) Regards, Dan
