Currently running Linux 2.6.34-12-default i686, openSUSE 11.3 (i586), KDE: 4.4.4 (KDE 4.4.4) “release 2” with BibleTime 2.1-0.pm.1 installed. The BibleTime software ran fine in Opensuse 11.2. However in 11.3, when trying to launch the app, it seems to try to start then nothing. No Application and no error messages. I checked the home page associated with this app for help but to no available help was not found on this particular issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

try launching it from a terminal and see if any error messages are
thrown…
also, you can check /var/log/messages for errors or warnings which may
have occurred (each line begins with a date/time)
when you have an error message, then you google on it and get more
hints…
post again if you keep getting dead ends…
other things to try:
-
find the .bibletime directory in your home, and rename it (to, for
example .bibletimeOLD) and then see if it will start ok -
using YaST, first delete bibletime, and then install it again…if
renameing (above) didn’t help then after deleting bibletime go to your
home directory and rename .bibletime to .bibletimeOLD2 (so you will
have only .bibletimeOLD and .bibletimeOLD2) and THEN install bibletime
with YaST again… -
use YaST to make sure your system if completely upto date, go
Software > Online Update -
check which repos you have enabled–and, if you have more than four
(oss, non-oss, update and packman you need to disable them and post
again for instructions on how to solve the interferences which can
occur by have conflicting packages from multiple enabled repos… -
get on your knees
