I did a new install of OpenSuse 11.3/KDE about a week ago. It’s working well but yesterday I encountered a strange problem.
I downloaded the program VueScan which is a good scanner program I use for photographic negative scanning. It is not available in any repository as far as I know so I just downloaded it. Then I made an entry in the menu under ‘graphics’ that pointed to the exe. That all worked great. Then I noticed that when I subsequently clicked on Computer/System Information, that the Google Chrome browser came up instead of System Information! Chrome had been properly installed from a repo. If I removed Chrome, then the System Information menu item worked again. Reinstalled Chrome, still working properly. Then I clicked on the VueScan menu item again and once again the System Information item broke as before.
Any ideas?
Also I don’t see the ‘Computer’ tab in the menu editor. How does one edit that part of the menu system?
