[opensuse] KDE panel freezing
It might be a plugin or config or it might be a release idiosyncrasy, but this last week or so the panel at the bottom of my KDE has frozen. The clock doesn't update, the task manager doesn't let me switch and of course the menu button doesn't cause the menu to pop up. The Alt-tab switcher does work. And Alt-F2 does work. I run zypper up every few days so I'm up to date on kde4.10 as per the earlier posting about the anomaly in the repository. Could that 'out of phase' be responsible? -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change. If a species can not adapt it goes extinct. That's the law of the universe, adapt or die. -- Billie Walsh, May 18 2013 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I had this problem starting at around the same time. When I checked YaST2 I found I had accidentally installed essentially the entire gnome desktop, plus nautilus, evolution, and a few other gnome-related apps. I didn't use any of them so I uninstalled all of them that weren't dependencies of packages I needed. When I did so the problem went away. I don't know which of them was the culprit. If I had to guess I would say it might have been either GDM, gnome-shell or gnome-panel, but that's just a guess. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the hint. I use a number of desktops so taking out the gone stuff that is really LXDE wasn't on, but U did find that lightdm was installed. Now it isn't. Now we'll see what happens. -- How long did the whining go on when KDE2 went on KDE3? The only universal constant is change. If a species can not adapt it goes extinct.
