What I meant was to kill kicker, i.e., issue the command: ps aux | grep kicker | grep -v grep Then note the number in the second column <procID> (after your username) and kill it with: kill <procID> Sometimes you have to try with kill -9 <procID> Then restart it by typing "kicker" in the konsole. If you want to start X in init 3, starting with openSUSE 12.3 you have to change the permissions of /usr/bin/Xorg. You need to make sure that you have: $ ls -l /usr/bin/Xorg -rws--x--x 1 root root 2150176 Jul 15 2013 /usr/bin/Xorg Note the "rws". You need to set the SUID flag with (I believe): chmod u+s /usr/bin/Xorg but check on that. Gianluca On Thu, 15 May 2014, Patrick Serru wrote:

What happens if you kill and restart kicker?

Hi All,
Now that I know that my Amd FX mather borad is not damaged (a problem of disques posted earlyer), I dicided to try to reinstal Oss 13.1.
I am happy because the X "nouveau" nvidia driver (or whatever Oss had installed is stable an I did not have any problem. Neither at the boot time nor at the X stating time. Nice, and thank a lot to the involved developpers!
I just did the intallation today (2014-05-04). The problem is that the task bar is not compatible with th sound (as fare as I see). Whwn I restarted the sound system with help of yast, the task bar desapears. The noise made by the circuitry i well audible until kdm starts kde3. Pulseaudio is not installed. Can someone tell me, please, How could I diasable the task bar in KDE, waiting for an update (if my thinking is correct on the source of the sound problem) ?
Thank you, and cheers. Patrick -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org

Thank a lot for your response. I have been waiting too long to try ??? I just tryed now and X did not started properly after two boot.
I use to start my actual Oss 12.2 in mode 3, login as root and then ?init 5?? to start the graphic system. If X starts in an other definition than 1280x1024, I press Ctrl+Alt+1 and type ?init3 ; sleep 3 ; init 5?? to restart X. I would say that most of the time, I dont need to restart X that way, but when X starts bad, I can repeat the last step up to 5 times before X starts in the correct definition.
I installed Oss 13.1 the same way. But tonight, X started bad and I have not been able to recover tty0 pressing Ctrl+Alt+1. So, I did have the oportunity to kill ?kicker?. Every thing was blocked and I am not sure Ctrl+Alt+Suppr worked but rather the power button of the PC did.
I am ready to make other test if needed.
