I tried upgrading my laptop from 11.1 to 11.3. The upgrade seemed to go fine, but when the system boots up the desktop doesn't load correctly. It's set to use gnome. All I get is a blue screen with my pidgin window in it, but it doesn't have the normal title bar or border. I have no desktop icons or task tray. Right clicking doesn't do anything.
I also had nvidia drivers installed so I thought that was the problem. I managed to get an X session going over vnc (where the desktop didn't work right either). I was able to get into yast, add repositories, including nvidia, and do a full update. Unfortunately it's still at the same spot.
Also when it starts it seems to try and start a remote desktop session to one of the servers I normally connect to. Not sure why it's trying to do that.
Anyone have any suggestions for troubleshooting this? How can I see what things are tryign to auto load on X startup? How can I reset gnome's settings? Maybe there's something in there from 11.1 it doesn't like.
I'm going to try creating a test user to see if a fresh user has the same problems.
Follow-up, I tried a test user and gnome would not load so maybe it is hosed. How can I switch the desktop manager? KDE is also installed. Any help is appreciated.

James, Sorry to see you're having issues, but can you tell us how you tried the upgrade? Did you use YaST or zypper or what? -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
