Dear All Yesterday I upgraded my SuSE 6.4 Compaq notebook to XFCE 3.5 from the version that is supplied with the SuSE distribution. After doing the upgrade I did what I was told to do and ran "xfce_upgrade" from the command line. The old file was saved to I know not where. It flashed across the screen too quickly. I used xfce-3.5.0-1.i386.rpm to upgrade and YaST installed it without problems. I now find when I start X-Windows that I can only start CTWM which is the emergency WM under SuSE 6.4. I've run YaST a few times and it shows that XFCE is the default WM. How do I get out of this ? I haven't hacked WM configuration files before and I've no idea what to do.

From The main menue select
Config SuSEWM (underneath login configuration) choose the system default WM elect the other choices is you like and you should be done. Juergen personal PS: Now I remember what I wanted to ask: The type of your notebook. I wanted to check for the diagnosis / setup partition stuff. -- =========================================== __ _ Juergen Braukmann juergen.braukmann@gmx.de| -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Tel: 0201-743648 dk4jb@db0qs.#nrw.deu.eu | /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ===========================================_\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
