Thanks in advance for any help - its needed… big time!
I am running 11.4.
I think i installed an update yesterday (cant remember if this was pkg manager or online update) but machines GUI is frozen - i cant click or interact with anything.
Well * some * things i can, but mostly, nothing works - e.g. i can launch a browser, but not use it. I can launch a file manager, but i cannot click / interact anywhere.
Its like a transparent shield is over everything since the update.
So, is this KDE or GNOME? Did you know you can run yast from a terminal session to uninstall applications? Try Ctrl-Alt-F1 to open a terminal session and log in as root if you can get terminal to run in your desktop. You can run one of the following terminal commands to see all applications installed.
For an Alpha Listing:
**
rpm -q --all | sort | less**

The symptoms sound like you have a modal dialog box open, but presumably
hidden behind other windows. Have you tried logging out and back in? Can
you use the mouse when you’re not logged in?
