Hello all. In a previous context, I mentioned that --perhaps associated with a locking screen-saver becoming active in the middle of a BIG apt-get update (my first big one, ever) -- the system had locked beyond my ability to get X going again. So I had performed a shutdown from console. When I re-started, I no longer had KDE3 or GNOME... I was dumped into WindowManager, with no kdm or gdm opportunity to select another desktop mangler. Anyway, I ran SuSEconfig, and everything seemed to go ok except the following section: Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susewm... unable to copy /opt/kde3/share/applnk/Settings//.directory to /etc/opt/kde3/share/applnk/SuSE//Settings/.directory unable to read /opt/kde3/share/applnk/Settings//.directory SuSEwm: ERROR: gnome: no "name" defined ! Executing /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.tetex... /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.tetex: Unknown default printer, use texconfig to setup dvips manually. So, I looked at SuSEconfig.susewm, and this is what it *wanted* to do: if [ -d "$r/opt/kde2/share/applnk/" ]; then kde2_links="$(find $r/opt/kde2/share/applnk/ -name \*.desktop)" fi Is it obvious to anybody what is broken? Where to start fixing (so as not to break anything even worse)? Is this one of those situations where one just modifies a line in one config file and it works again? Or is this where I re-install X and KDE and maybe GNOME, to make it all happy again? I don't miss the KDE candy as much as I thought I would, but I miss being able to run many KDE or GNOME apps.
