Hi I got myself a new computer (details below), and I encountered a problem. When installing a backup Debian I encountered a few minor problems (nothing big. I got it working), but when installing the main OS (Suse 11.0) I had a major problem. I installed KDE 4, but first boot displayed a typical black and white pixel screen (you know: gray from a meter or 2, the X screen itself when it has nothing to paint windows) but no beautiful green screen, and no progress (I waited for a while and went back to watching a movie for an hour or so but no change after that). I rebooted, and saw the first boot screen. "Yaay solved" I thought, but when it rebooted (after the settings were finished) it booted to command line. If I enter kdm (after root and pw) nothing happens. No error but no KDE either. Okay, not what I expected so I tried using yast to reinstall KDE. A lack of knowledge apeared: I did not know what package to reinstall exactly. My solution (I wanted to try and solve this myself before bugging you guys): Reinstall, but try and use KDE 3.5. To no avail: Only X instead of first boot, leave it overnight, reboot, usable first boot, command line. Below is some extra data I expect people will need. Ask if you need more Does anyone have any idea what the solution might be?
