To the List: Actually buying and installing ANY version of Linux is the major goal of all on this list, I hope! But, when a distro has problems, instead of just bad mouthing it, people should ask for help!!
But where and how can people "ask for help" ? At about the time I updated from SuSE 9.2 to SuSE 9.3, all functions involving GNOME stopped working. The symptom common to all this is the error message (all on one line): | symbol lookup error: /opt/gnome/lib/libglade-2.0.so.0: | undefined symbol: gtk_about_dialog_get_type I posted my problem to this list. I got only one responder, who was able to clear a similar problem by re-installing Gtk. Well, I've reinstalled (from the 9.3 DVD) every package I can think of, and nothing helps. [I'm wondering if the 9.3 DVD I got is different from other people's. I ordered mine through SuSE.] I also emailed the developers, but got no answer. I had my reasons for doing an upgrade of SuSE from 9.2 to 9.3. If I am forced to do a reinstall from scratch, I'm thinking of using another distribution than SuSE -- I'm THAT disappointed. mikus
