Hi,

I have OpenSUSE 11.3 with a system that hangs when run in Normal Kernel
mode; does not hang in Failsafe mode. In trying to fix that problem I
booted with the Kernel with the option nomodeset. As of that boot and
another KDE will not run from the KDM4 display manager.

I am really stuck with this machine and openSUSE.
Help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

First question I have is what repos do you have activated on this box
and did you do any recent updates?
I just have the defaults that were installed with the system. I did an update
right after installing the system.
The Repos are:

Second question part 1, can you log in to a fresh user account created with
yast?
No I cannot login to a new user with a KDE session.

Part 2, can you log in to the original user account if you change the
session type to icewm or twm?

Yes these both work. In fact I am using ICEWM right now and like it, it is
very lean.

Here are the messages that I get from running 'startkde' from an XTerm, while
logged in with twm session

Is there a non destructive disk checking utility to verify that my harddrive
is OK without destroying the contents? At 5 1/2 yrs old it seems like a good
idea to check it.


Thank you for your help,
