I recently installed openSuSE 11.1 on a ThinkPad T23 (P3 1133MHz, 1 GB RAM, KDE 4.1.3 release 4.9). In getting the CD-ROM to work, I found the forum advice at Cannot mount a CD-ROM - Page 2 - openSUSE Forums to add User to the cdrom and disk groups. I did that, and things worked. Then a subsequent posting said to not have User in the disk group, so I removed it. Since then I cannot run as normal User, only as root.
When I log-in as User, after the log-screen, the boot screen shows for about 10 seconds, then the screen goes white and a message window appears:
“Plasma Workspace - The KDE Crash Handler
A Fatal Error Occurred.
The application Plasma Workspace (plasma) crashed and caused a signal 11(SIGSEGV)…”
When I log-in as root, things seem normal. I put User back in disk group, but that made no difference.
fstab is:

I tried to “Repair installed system” from the DVD, but it just sat. Any ideas what went wrong, and how to fix it?
Thanks
