I have been using Suse since at least v8, and for the first time (other than when I have done something stupid) I have experienced two lock-ups where I have had to re-cycle the power to gain access again.
It took me a while to get caught up on mail, but I'd like to add to this. I experience lockups every time I run KDE4. They happen whether or not I have compositing turned on. This has happened ever since the first or second build after 4.2 was released - and yes, it's still 4.2. After the lockup, there is absolutely no response from the computer whatsoever, including when I've tried the SysRq combinations after I found out about them here. I watch the hard drive light always after a lockup and it's dead until I do a hard reset. My RAM is okay. I tried booting the rescue thing from the install disk and running fsck, but it complains about being unable to create a bad blocks file and I'm not sure how to get around that. Still, I doubt that this is the problem because no other window manager does this (having tried WindowMaker, IceWM, Twindy, KDE3 and fvwm2 - all running mostly KDE4 applications). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
