First. You should do this
Disable Auto-Login - openSUSE Forums

Next logout
At the login screen, look for Menu and option for console login and start it
Login with your username and password

Once you have done that, type the following and hit enter:

mv .kde4 .kde4-old

Now type:

startx

problem for wine report builder and rptpdf

Sorry, I am not familiar with what you are referring to.
Unless you can be more specific?
I understand wine. Are you saying you were running an application in it (wine) and can no longer do so or find files associated with it?

ok sir…no need for the wine…but plz help me for my taskbar!!! it has again reverted to my older one,there is no task bar…gve some permanent solution plzzz

7

You say it has reverted to older one, there is no task bar!

You mean the task bar has gone again?
What were you doing when this happened?

8

i was doing nothing…evrything was fine!!! the taskbar came…the default wallpaper also came…but then i went to change the wallpaper,and a message came,relating to terminate and keep trying. i pressed terminate… the it reverted, Now what has happened is that the folders and the kde panel(start button) has changed to the default views, but the interface and desktop are stil the same. no taskbar… but all icons etc… etc… have gone to default looks. It means that it has worked, but for something total change did not occured. this is my present condition… Plzz help now!!!

Has this system been updated?

If not - open Yast - Online Update and let it go to work

10

OK RUNNING THE UPDATES…THEN WILL IT WORK???

11

Like before you will need to logout and console login and do

mv .kde4 .kde4-old2

exactly as I type, it’s slightly different than the last time

12

how to go for console login???

13

Like I said before in this thread

Logout
Go to Menu - Select Console Login
Login with user name and password…

14

ok thank u!! let me try…restarting machine as update finished!!!

15

i did it…but shows the following msg and nothing is done…

Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.

KDE seems to be already running on this display.
Hangup
GOT SIGHUP

what to do???

16

There is another way to switch to console.

Reboot. Login as usual.

Become superuser (root):

su

Say:

init 3

The graphics shall quit. Become user:

su humtum (or you username)

Say:

cd
