I recently upgraded from 8.1 to 8.2 on my Dell Inspiron 8100. I have been using KDE exclusively for my desktop. Things going pretty well until yesterday. as I went to shutdown the laptop I noticed that my desktop had change dramatically. Background picture was gone, most or the desktop ikons were gone. Remaining ikons seemd to have a Gnome look to them. Next time I rebooted it took a long time to bring up the KDE desktop and when it came up nautilus began launching repeatedly with no end in sight. Had to log out to get it to stop. This continues to happen every time I boot up with KDE, but not with Gnome or WindowMaker. Any ideas? Thanks, Duane Wilson

nautilus 2 is apparently the culprit.
in console log in as root
run kpackage and remove it being mindful of dependencys.
I had to reinstall to get rid of the thing it so hosed the system.

That's happened to me several times. According to some others on this list, it is caused by some kind of configuration error that SuSE included in 8.2. I'm not smart enough to address that issue but I can give you a quick and dirty workaround. At least, it worked for me. I used YaST to uninstall the Nautilus package. The dependency check told me to delete two other packages as well. I accepted that and the problem went away. Of couse, so did Nautilus so if you want to use Nautilus, you will need to find a better solution. I'm hoping this problem is fixed in SuSE 9.0. Good luck. Don Henson
