Hello everybody,
I wiped my old opensuse installation and installed opensuse-12.1 with KDE from scratch with the live-cd.
To be brutally honest, I have had problems with installing using the LIVE CD. For best results I now rely only on the DVD. Takes me 10+ hours to download the DVD but it is worth it.
Since then, I sometimes have a hanging window manager. I can move the mouse around, but mouse clicks are ignored. The taskbar and the menu are dead. I can switch windows with the ALT-TAB keys and switch virtual desktops with CTRL-Fx keys, but on the new desktop, only the area covered by the windows on that new desktop is redrawn.
This situation lasts about 5 to 10 minutes. After that, everything works as usual again.
Any ideas what might causing this problem or how to track it down when it happens again?
Thanks,
Question: since you did the installation (from the CD) have you updated the system to the very latest system files - either using YaST or zypper? You don't mention which version of 12.1 you installed - 32-bit or 64-bit; nor how much RAM you have; nor what speed the cpu is; nor if you have installed the "real" driver for the video or still only using the default video driver which is installed. Answers to the above would be of help in helping you with the problem(s). BC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
