this needs a little more information i’m afraid. what ‘system’ are you
using, how many CPUs, how much memory (RAM), how big is your swap
partition, what video card & driver? and what means “load of the system is
little bit higher”? if you’re using a netbook and are compiling a large
program or kernel, these symptoms might be expected. if you’ve got a
high-end system with a dozen CPUs and are watching a youtube movie, then
not…

I am working in an organization.I installed SUSE11.3 in almost 10 system.But every system getting the same problem.

Systems Hard ware is

RAM 1.5 to 2 GB
Swap 3GB
load of the system is little bit higher means more than one application are open suppose firefox and eclipse.

We are not going to youtube vedios.

This is not a direct answer to the special problem you have right now (I see
not enough information to understand the problem) but may help you in
general.
Install the package opensuse-tuning_en-pdf on one of your systems.
You will find a pdf in the following location
/usr/share/doc/manual/opensuse-tuning_en-pdf/opensuse-tuning_en.pdf
which contains tons of hints and description of tools which will help you
diagnose and monitor your system.
It is for me so usefull that I printed an older version quite a while ago so
that I have a hardcopy.

Back to your problem:
Does this happen with any applications or only with some special
applications and which desktop do you use?
Is it something which can be related to internet connections?
Do you have desktop effects enabled and so on?
Which desktop do you have? KDE, Gnome, something else?

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

This is not an application or internet internet problem.Because this problem is coming in different timings using different applications.
I am using KDE desktop.
All desktop effects are disabled.

I am using different versions of Operating Syatems.But only 11.3 is getting this issue.

I am also giving the screen-shot link below .Please check.

I cannot remeber that I have seen something like that before and have no
idea what it can be, except that you have graphic driver problems on all of
your machines, which does not sound very reasonable.
I hope someone else has seen that before and has an idea.

what happened to your desktop folder?

it looks like you have tried to put stuff directly on the background,
which is the way it used to be in KDE3…

you say you are “different versions of Operating Syatems.But only 11.3”
has this problem…so, tell me are the boxes with no problems running
Gnome, or KDE3, or Xfce or what…

to me it looks like you are trying to make KDE4 do something it can’t do
(of course, i’ve been wrong before)…

i mean, see my beautiful black plasma background with CPU temperature,
moon phase, clock, weather report and more under my and translucent
“Desktop Folder” where i have several things i want to be able to click
to life, here:

http://www.imagebam.com/image/1c5165129897421

and, there is a image of your broken one on the right…

so, KDE4 is born with a ‘desktop folder’ what happened to it??

hmmmm…all i can off is that your systems are somehow damaged, either
during initial install or afterwards…

if you installed all 11.3 systems from the same install disk, it is
possible that each machine has a bad install coming from that disk, did
you do this http://tinyurl.com/2ebcf27 before install attempt?

if not do it now, and if that disk has errors then you most likely found
the problem…and, the solution is to get a perfect disk and reinstall…

if the install disk checks out a perfect, then i don’t know except to
say that the systems are broken…and, i have no idea how that came to be…

did you:

get your install image from http://software.opensuse.org/113/en ? (if
not, then where?)
check the md5sum of the downloaded iso?
are all machines connected to the net? and, have they all be updated
to the latest level using YaST Online Updater?

or maybe the system administrator is accidentally damaging the system
during set up…hmmmm, but if accidentally there should be some
randomness to the results…maybe the administrator is following a
how-to which is killing the systems…

lots and lots of variables that i can’t touch from here…

how experienced is your Linux Administrator? how experienced with
openSUSE? with KDE4?

which version of KDE4 is being run? (i ask because i upgraded to 4.5.5
and that brought stability—but, i never saw the problem you have there
when i was running the default install (4.4.4 i think)…

oh, let me ask: Who turned off the Desktop Folder, and why? and what
else did they change, and why? and, what happens if just add a new test
user, log out and log back in as that new user–is everything good then?

Hi guys,

The same OS is working fine Laptops.So the problem is may be my systems hardware.It may be graphic card problem.

So the problem is solved for now.
