KDE YaST

After I updated last night , or so I thought , I have no desktop , nothing but gray and white checker board squares and a error message “Unable to use GStreamer Multimedia Backend : the shared library was not found” .
Am using TWM , tried failsafe and even ran YaST from TWM , YaST updated some files but still no desktop .

Go through this post. You should get your solution there.

Thanks , DLed the repository , knew it was libqt4-x11 missing (Checked YaST but it showed qt4 installed) did not dawn on me to see if there was a repository for it .
I used TWM to get to YaST and DLed XFCE to use (have used it in the past , XFCE , but this version looks better) , might have found my second favorite desktop .

Thanks for the help thejaswihr .

That did the trick !
Thanks again .
