Hi all.

Which gfx card do you have and what are the specs of the PC? The KDE4 stuff is in the default repos which come preset on 13.2. Try removing the add'l Plasma 5 repos you added and then doing a zypper dup. Personally, Plasma 5 with the Oxygen icon theme looks pretty nice to me, yet stability is lacking. People I know can't even install Leap because it crashes before they even get into the YaST installer. Do you have an NVIDIA card by any chance? Have you tried TW or Leap on the same machine to see if the same problems exist? Also, more problems can arise with an upgrade vs. doing a clean install.

Yes, it's a 2.4GHz quad-core i5 (from memory) with 16GB RAM and an Nvidia GTX 750. It was working fine up until a week or two ago, but a recent update seems to have broken it. I've had similar things before when an Nvidia OpenGL library has been replaced by another, usually as a result of an upgrade to X11 - in those cases, reinstalling the Nvidia driver has usually resolved it, but not this time. :( I think I'll try what you said, and take the risk with the dependencies wanting to uninstall ridiculous amounts of stuff. What's the worst that can happen, apart from ending up with an unusable system? I guess I still have e17 installed, so I should be able to fall back on that while I get things "fixed". Thanks for the suggestions.
