I have run into a issue(s) with alt+f2 (the run dialog)

When you type stuff into alt+f2, it search(s) as you type and of course suggest links, programs etc. 2 things

1) the run dialog becomes unresponsive, as you type stuff in. If you click on a suggestion, press enter or click on the x (to close run dialog) nothing happens. After a pause it will respond

2) After typing in a command and pressing enter, the command seems to not respond, until I do a alt+f2 again, for example type in yast press enter, nothing happens. Press alt+f2 again, the dialog box for root password shows up.

The issue(s) above appear to be random, I've not been able to establish a pattern when it occurs, in most cases a logout / login will fix it, in some cases only rebooting will fix it as well.

This started since I updated to 11.2 with kde 4.4.x, anyone run into this and have fix / workaround ?

Thanks in advance,

Tony

The alt-f2 dialog is called krunner. There are frequent discussions on how to improve its performance: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2010-03/msg00455.html http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-03/msg00031.html Basically if the dialog isn't working, open a shell, and type kquitapp krunner kdeinit4_wrapper krunner That will reload it To try and get to stop freezing, alt-f2, open the preferences (the spanner/wrench icon) and disable all the services you don't need (e.g. kopete contacts, session management, music player control). If you reduce the number it works great. Regards, Tejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
