[Bug 233602] New: Blank desktop on session start (intermittently)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=233602 Summary: Blank desktop on session start (intermittently) Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: osl@16hd.freeserve.co.uk QAContact: qa@suse.de K6-2/500 - several systems, various chipsets, RAM size etc. KDE gives error at session start "The process for the file protocol died unexpectedly", followed by no icons on desktop (though taskbar is OK). Can fix within the session using "Configure Desktop" -> "Desktop" -> "Behaviour"; select "Icons on desktop"=No, Apply, wait for it to action then restore to Yes. Once corrected, session is fine. Also seen on 10.1 final on some of the same hardware, seems more prevalent using 10.2 Happens with local login or with remote, probably > 75% of session starts. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.

Login takes a good 30s - 1m on the worst affected machines. As I said in the original post, spec varies a little but these are old (but otherwise usable) machines. Generally AMD K6-2/500 (a low cost AMD alternative to the Pentium 2), with typically 192 - 384M RAM. One machine originally had 128M but I accept that that's below most recommendations. It ran OK once started but spent a lot of time swapping... Another 128M stick and it was much happier! RAM certainly makes a lot of difference to start speed (and indeed to usability). This is being posted on a K6-2/500 with the maximum (for its chipset) 768M - it's very usable. With this amount the problem is rarely, if ever, seen. -- 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, or are watching someone who is.
