This is referring to SUSE 10.0. In KDE I can't run lots of programs, Some games will not load, no CD burning apps will burn or even load.I can't find the CD-RW drive. and it crashes all the time.

I know from running XP and working on peoples systems it is usually the end user, but in this case all I have been doing is clicking the app to open. So far in GNOME, evolution crashed once. I have yet to try the apps that were giving me problems. One thing I think may be the problem, someone mentioned that KDE is a memory hog. I have 512MB RAM but I gave min 64 to video, in XP I gave it 128MB and I have 3D acc turned on.I have the color set to 32 which takes lots of VM so I don't know how much of about 384MB of RAM the KDE is using and how much the apps need to run, one app in question is Freeciv, and all the CD burners. If anymore info is needed please ask. P.S. I did not hijack a thread to write this I made a new one from scratch. P.S.S. SUSE was not in my dictionary, WOW -- Poneyboy Gregory D.

How much swap you set aside? Just a guess, but sometimes too little swap has caused me problems in past. -- ...Yogich
When it installed it took almost 1GB for one partition and 17GB for the rest, if this is not the answer how do I find the answer? -- Poneyboy Gregory D. Watts 931-498-4341\Cell 931-260-0414 http://www.tasana.biz

Weird. 512 is more than enough. Maybe you have a hardware problem, try memtest form the boot menu. Check /var/log/messages for errors.

swapon -s Or better, run "top" in a terminal. The header lines gives that info.

Sorry about the trimming, I was also top posting, little by little I'm picking up on the rules. Swap is 1020088 and I assume that is Kb so it would be 1GB?is that right? Everrything that did not work in KDE is working great in GNOME. The memory is the only thing I can think of, unless KDE just hates Dell as much as Dell hates Linux. Both pick up my hardware fine, as what seems to be with all Dells the sound was a bit trickey and it will not work with the 1350 WNIC not even the wrapper. but it picks up everrything else fine,

Thank you! Not exactly rules, except by custom, that makes easier reading. There are too many posts in the list ;-)

Yes, that seem corret.
Everrything that did not work in KDE is working great in GNOME.
Then there is no hardware problem. Good!

I usually use gnome, but what I would think is that you have installed some "experimental" version of kde, or one of the updates, and something broke. Can't say for certain, but that's the feeling. - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFDfNHxtTMYHG2NR9URAiavAJ9CVxgNjN56fzkgvcWmbbt3ptfOiACgh5de 6D9piQbmmxSIXjxvLT/rKUA= =BCYY -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
