Hello SuSE folks; Same thread, different problem.Have completely lost X Downloaded a dist-upgrade with apt because I wanted to update XFree86. I was already running SuSE 8.1 and KDE 3.1 through previous upgrades. First I got the latest sources list, then did an apt-get update, then the apt-get dist-upgrade. All of the rpm's installed,(I think) as there were no error messages. Did a SuSEconfig and all seemed well. Shut down for the night. Next day I booted up and the machine would not initiate runlevel 5. This is error message: "kdm/opt/kde3/bin/kdm error while loading shared libraries: libX11.so.6 cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" Did an rpm -q XFree86. Was told that XFree86 is not installed. Checked, yes, is in apt-achives with all of the other packages. Thinking it might not have been installed I tried an apt-get install. Many pages of "depends" flew by on the screen. Tried a - force and a -nodeps. Didn't work. Then tried a apt-get dist-upgrade and was advised I had to download another 30 megabutes?? That shouldn't be. I probably did 3 apt-get -d dist-upgrade's to make sure everything was downloaded before I let it do it's thing. And,of course I can't do another download because I can't get on line with ppp!! So here I am, on my wife's old Windows machine asking for help and guidance. Anyone? Please?? Bob S.
