Hi:

Firstly apologizes for the double posting, my mistake. Thank you to the poster who suggested java might be the problem. I checked that the java runtime was installed using YAST, it was and then ran the command in the terminal and checked the default java, it was set to usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.6.0-sun/bin/java' to provide 'java so I tried the other option 1 /usr/lib64/jvm/jre-1.5.0-gcj/bin/java. But it still did not load whatever java vm I selected past the root privileges passwords prompt.

out of pure curiosity last night,I reinstalled openSUSE back to the version that was on the live cd and after installing iplist it worked perfectly but after installing updates including patches, software and Linux kernel, it would no longer load and Im no longer able to access my sysconfig screen via My Computer and get this error message: KDEInit could not launch 'kfmclient'.:Could not find 'kfmclient' executable.
.
So obviously one of the update installed have caused some aspects of the system to cease functioning, perhaps somebody more knowledgeable about OpenSuse and Linux, knows the cause and can suggest a fix?

Thanks again.
