Not very useful if it boots up in desktop and you can't access anything.

No choice -- just a white plain login box. I installed kde4 and gnome, but neither took -- I'd hoped to have a choice of desktops, but instead I got none. Still haven't figured out how to create a desktop on this beast. I had a remote desktop on my 11.1 machine but its gone now too...not sure what changed, but it is (perhaps mistakenly) set for auto-update. Is that generally a bad thing to do? -linda -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Are you also unable to get to X via startx or startkde? Is any *kdm* installed? I've stumbled into the big ugly login box a few times lately too. I'm not sure whether I've figured out yet what causes it, but maybe I've found a fix. I think it is because no kde*session rpm was installed at an appropriate time. It may be that simply installing it won't fix the problem, but also updating /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager's DISPLAYMANAGER= or some other config file may be required. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
