[opensuse] Desktop after update
by Erik Jakobsen 01 Sep '10

I run openSuSE 11.3. I have installed kedtoys4, and then I recognized, that also a new NVIDIA driver was installed. After the update I recognized, that my desktop looks like this: http://www.urbakken.dk/desktop.jpg This means, that all what was located in the panel before the update, now is spread all around the desktop. What can I do, to get rid of that ?. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I will try the Alt-F2 and then deleting the files and get back to the list.

It is the KDE on the 11.2 install media. As I wrote, there have been no updates. Not even the one that the install offers to do (I will verify this last point). No repos other than what the install adds are defined. System-wide yes. Oddly, root no. You would think there was a clue here. But I never could see what it was. What confuses me is that we are doing out-of-the-box installs on new systems running on every day nvidia cards with common displays. I just cannot believe that we are the only ones seeing this. I could see if we were doing something odd. But these are just simple installs. It has happened at least 50% of the time. Can't see any common link in hardware. The systems are not exactly the same. But the problem is. I can attach a few small screen dumps if no one objects. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

When possible, that will be checked. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
