Hey, no more than 15 hours after a breezy installation and setup I somehow managed to stop the desktop manager from displaying.
Once you boot into Suse, the loading bar goes across, a white flash, then a blank screen forever. I figured it was KDM once I booted into x11safemode and tried to boot the desktop manager, it recreated the situation.
I’ve tried un-installing and installing KDM again, however it seems to reuse the same config file. I’m thinking about deleting the config file mentioned, but I’m not sure what will happen when I install the desktop manager, if there’s any setting up to get it to work with my setup, or even if that will fix the situation.
Any ideas what I can do?
Kris. rotfl!
Ok deleting config and reinstalling didn’t work. Got a few db errors too. Is there any alternatives to KDM which are compatible with KDE?
In the future don’t delete configs rename them so you can get them back if the experiment goes bad.
gdm and xdm are compatible but now I’m not sure if those would work either and it is normally best to use the ?dm associated with the desktop.
