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
Tried this, they are the same on both machines, that is, the working and not properly working.
OK, that is strange. Make sure you have read permission on all the desktop files
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.
Using Gnome System monitor, nothing happens with it when I click Logout, and everything is sleeping, I mean everything except gnome system monitor.
It doesn't matter if they're sleeping, the point is that some program or other is refusing to exit. "sleeping" means it's still running, and that's what KDE is looking at
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)
Video cards are Nvidia 7300 on both machines, except the M57SLI is PCIExpress, the other is AGP. Replaced the 9755 driver that I downloaded with the 9629 driver that is on the working machine, same problem.
OK, it could be the old framebuffer problem. You might want to boot the system without the framebuffer (vga=normal) and see if it still happens -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
