Hello SuSE users. A strange thing has started to happen to me. I am running 7.1, with the 2.4.7 GB kernel, and the KDE that came with 7.1. Version 2.0 something? Anyway when X starts and I get the log-on screen I will put in the user name and password. KDE starts to load. The logo box shows the loading process in % and the KDE "music" starts to play. It will show loading up to 55% and stop and then the icons and menu bars will show as if normally loaded. At this point though KDE is locked up. Nothing else will load when selected. I then have to kill X and restart at the log-on screen. I may have to do this process 3 or 4 times before the logo box shows at least 77% and then KDE will function correctly. It is as though something which is supposed to be loading is too slow or not loading at all. This will also happen logging in as root. Any ideas? Bob S.
