I have the same problem. My OpenSuse 10.2 was working fine but froze for some reason and so I shut it down by holding the button down. I booted again, seemed fine except KPowerSave won't start. This sucks of course. I rebooted twice and shut down and started once. It sucks cause now I must guess in relation to power. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. Also, what can cause OpenSuSE 10.2 to freeze? I'd like to avoid it as much as I can. Also, what's the best thing I can do to prevent damage when a freeze occurs? Thanks for your time and assistance everyone. On Wed Dec 27 15:41 , Lew Wolfgang sent:

Hi Folks,

First problem #1:

This is a clean 10.2 install on a Dell Dimension 4700 with KDE as the default desktop.

When logging in, the crash handler reports that kpowersave has crashed. I tried a few things, including booting acpi=off, moving kpowersave, linking it as /bin/true, but all for naught. If this was my system I wouldn't care, but it's being configured for another user and having to see this crash report upon every login is bad publicity.

Any suggestions? The crash report mentions something about a problem with D-Bus. No, Gnome is not an option!

Then, problem #2:

Konqueror doesn't pick up the Yast configured proxy setting as it did in the past. This is on a non-routed (no NAT), insular subnet with one host running squid. Firefox picked up the setting, but Konqueror had to be configured by hand. This behavior is on both X86 and AMD-64.

Now for the comments:

With the exception of the kpowersave and proxy issue, things went very smoothly on this and on a brand-new dual-dual-core Opteron disk farm with three 3-Ware raid controllers and 16 450-GB SATA disks. Good work, SuSE!

This is the first time I've gone with Opensuse instead of the boxed-sets. While I'm sorry to see their demise in North American stores, I'm gratified that the download versions are working well. It was rather depressing at Frys this morning, however. They had a couple Linspire boxes, one Slackware, and a couple SuSE 10.1 leftovers. Paltry pickin's in a literal forest of Microsoft products. Linux certainly isn't reaching out to the impulse-buy retail shopper any more. Pity.
