Sorry, but I tried openSUSE (no quotes, single quotes,space in between open and suse, all capitals all lower case, the lot) but still I have ugly 1990's blue curtains with an awful login windows.

Looks like you're stuck with the horus theme. Presumably you're using the default (kdm4) window manager. Try editing /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager: # Comment out existing line if it's there #DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="horus" (or whatever it is) # Add another line thus DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="SUSE" # so you won't have to remember what it was originally # and can easily change it back. While you're in the file, check to see that the display manager is set: DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm4" because, for some odd reason, kdm (aka kdm3) is now broken. Then do: service xdm restart and if you don't get X screen do: service xdm start because sometimes restart doesn't. Et voila. Hopefully. YMMV, etc. Using YaST2 sysconfig editor doesn't really seem to be working for me. (Can't remember if it ever worked.) So I change the file directly. jd -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
