It’s luck to I install “Yakuake”, and let start with system start. So, I run “kstart plasma-desktop” in terminal, see below:

Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

Video card?? driver??

3

there’s 3 (or 4) plasma*rc files in ~/.kde4/share/config - move, rename or delete them and then restart kde. This will indicate if there’s a corrupt rc file and if so maybe you should just start from scratch.

4

Video card driver is ok!

5

I will try it later. Thank you very much!

6

For plasma reset: rename or remove, but it must be done, either from gnome or outside X

.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc
.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc
.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktoprc
.kde4/share/config/plasmarc

7

after you remove, delete or rename the pasma*rc files stopping and restarting plasma-desktop will bring you back to defaults

kquitapp plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop

8

stopping and restarting plasma-desktop after removing/moving/renaming the files has always brought me back to the default

kquitapp plasma-desktop && plasma-desktop

9

yes, I remove these files and restart plasma-desktop, it recreate these files.
And it works well now.
Thanks very much!

10

That’s what it does.
Good to know it’s OK now

11

KDE crashes for me as well. Deleting the files plasma-desktop-appletsrc, plasmarc, and plasma-desktoprc doesn’t help.
If I add applets etc. to a panel, it crashes shortly after login (and returns to the login screen). If I use firefox, it crashes, If I use konqueror, it crashes later (i.e., I can browse for a while).
KDE does not crash when I log in as a different user (an account without any customizations only used to connect to a couple of web pages). Other window managers, such as fvwm, work also fine.
I’m more than willing to trade all the bells and whistles (applets, panels, etc.) for stability and robustness…

12

Then try removing the whole .kde4 folder
I take it you know how

13

Did that yesterday, but KDE/plasma continues to crash (only a bit later 8-(
I can work for a while, but as soon as I click into the panel to maximize an iconified window or type Alt-Tab to switch to another window, KDE crashes immediately.

Let us see your repo list

zypper lr -d

6 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.3-Update | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /update/11.3 |

16

When you tried a new .kde4, did you do it outside X

What graphics device do you have?

17

.kde4 was removed in an xterm that ran within FVWM. Can try it again when no X for that user is active.

ATI Radeon X1300/X1550

18

Try it again from a console login

mv .kde4 .kde4-old

If that doesn’t help
Disable repo 2 (cd/dvd)
Set all the others to 99 priority, but leave packman as it is.
Then do zypper dup

19

I am using Gnome/OpenSUSE 11.3.

After upgrading to 11.3 from 11.2 recently whenever i use alt+tab in succession the OS crashes

Please Help!!!

20

Please start a new thread. This thread is KDE based and nothing to do with your issue.
That way you will get better support.
Thanks
