Have a computer with GA-M57SLI-S4 (still with Gigabyte bios) that I installed Suse 10.2 on. I have had so many problems, I am about to give up on it and get another motherboard. Here are the problems. Hopefully someone can give me some insight on fixing them.
KDE desktop only has trash can on it, even though the Desktop folder is under my user name and contains Firefox, My Computer, etc. My other Suse 10.2 64-bit amd shows the Firefox, My Computer, etc on the desktop. Have searched through the Desktop Settings, but have not found any difference between the two computers. Does not make sense to me why they are difference when I installed Suse from the same DVD.
Go to KDE's control center, System Administration->Paths and make sure the Desktop path is pointing to your Desktop directory
When I click the Logout icon under the start menu, it goes away and nothi8ng happens. Only way to get out is to ctrl +alt +backspace. Then all I get is a black screen. ctrl +alt +delete does nothing. even blind typing startx again does nothing. only way out is master reset.
The logout thing sounds like you have a program hanging that won't respond. KDE won't exit until all applications running have exited. I think that is configurable somewhere, but I can't find it this instant. The black screen thing is most likely a graphics driver thing. Are you by any chance running the ATI binary driver? Because exactly that behaviour is a known bug, fixed in the latest release (8.35.5)
/proc/cpuinfo both cores are shown, but the clock frequency is shown as 1000 MHz, eventhough it is an AMD64 dual core 4600+. My other computer has a 3800+ and shows 2000 MHz clock frequency. Gnome system monitor on both machines shows the % of each core. Don't know if this is a linux problem or bios reporting problem or whatever.
No, it is a power management thing. To conserve energy, your CPUs aren't running at full throttle unless you need them to. Run a CPU-intensive program and look at the cpuinfo again -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
