You don't need to attach those logfiles since they don't contain any detail about what KDE 4 is doing. Re comment #4, had you logged in as root to KDE 4.0 on the 11.0 install before upgrading to 11.1? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
