OpenSUSE :: Fix An Unstable 11.2 Desktop / Closes And Freezes Temporarily?
Jun 9, 2010
Is there any way I can install an older version of kde like the on on suselinux 10.1 because the newer desktops are very unstable on my computers. stuff closes, stuff freezes temperarly, fortunetly nothing perminent has happened yet but its been threating to abolish my computer. Ive had other cases like this end up making me reinstall my operating system and Id really like to just fix the problem before it happens. page down is overrun with this horribly lagging scroll.buttons look like there clicking occasionally and again it closes programs and has logged me out once already.

I just installed openSuse 11.4 on my tablet pc HP Pavillion tx 2000 and then I installed Nvidia driver by Yast, adding before the official repository NVidia.Sometimes, it happens that I can move the cursor mouse but when I click nothing happens, while the keyboard works properly. After more some seconds mouse works again.

I used to sync my local directories via smb4k plus synkron to the server. It works like a charm including kernel 2.6.38.BUT with 2.6.39 it doesn't. /var/log/messages says:
Code:
May 25 18:37:01 linux-yg22 sudo: AW : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/etc/samba ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/smb4k_mount -s -t cifs -o

When connecting to my Ubuntu box from my Windows 7 machine via Telnet, the session will sometimes freeze for a few seconds before allowing me to continue typing. This seems to happen every few minutes. Both machines are wireless and I am connecting through my local network.

The system runs just fine then all of a sudden it "freezes". For example an input box doesn't respond nor can I scroll down the page. But when the system comes out of the freeze 5-15 seconds later, it suddenly does all the input that was used during the freeze. The scroll and letters suddenly show up. I don't loose mouse control and I can do some other system functions but not all of them.
Here are some various system info's

I have been experiencing issues when switching users since my last update; I filed a bug, but I was interested if anybody else was having the same problem:URL...In a nutshell the computer freezes temporarily during the switch user process. The longer it is running, the longer the freeze lasts. When frozen the screen is black except for a mouse pointer; but the mouse and keyboard are not responsive including the usual X command keys (Ctrl-Alt-Del, Ctrl-Alt-Bksp, Ctrl-Alt-F1, etc.).When I get the chance I am going to rollback gdm to see if that makes a difference.

My work machine crashes 1-3 times a day, and I often lose work. This is getting very frustrating--I've never known a Linux system to be so unstable.
When it freezes, I can still move the mouse around. I believe it's also still doing some background tasks, since files have finished copying before and my music will still be playing, if it was before. But the mouse cursor doesn't change, and it's totally nonresponsive.
The trouble is, I don't know how to diagnose this problem, to tell you something less vague. I might be able to check, to see what's going on? The problem usually comes about when I'm doing something--either loading a new web page, or starting a new program, or even when I just hit a button. Otherwise, I'm just stumped.

I'm currently trying to learn how to get around Blender, but I keep running into the same problem. Blender relies heavily on shortcuts and keystrokes to navigate it's GUI, but very often they clash with the shortcuts on my desktop. The result is that the desktop shortcut wins, making Blender impossible to use effectively.
Is there any way to disable the desktop shortcuts temporarily while using the software, and then setting them back when I'm done?

I have updated Opensuse 11.3 to 11.4. I have also updated to the latest NVIDIA drivers. Now, when Gnome desktop starts it freezes: it draws all the shortcuts on the desktop but I cannot use my wired mouse to click anything as if the desktop has freezed. The cursor shows that something is loading. I cannot also use Ctl + F2 to start xterm... But I can use Ctl + Alt + F12, so the keyboard is working.

i use Newsbin and after installing 11.3 and copying my datafiles from newsbin over, there is a tendency that my desktop freezes up. The only thing working is the mouse, but unable to click anything. Keyboard is death at the point. Is there a logfile from the system that let me see the problem? Did not have freezes with 11.2.

I recently downloaded openSUSE (gnome) from the main site. I used ImgBurner to put it on a cd and boot it. After I double click the installation on the desktop, it opens then closes after like 30 seconds. I dont know if the ImgBurner did not burn it on the disk properly, or if my computer is just retarded.

This is probably already on these forums, but I recently re-installed suse 11.3 and had the desktop effects working fine with the desktop cube animation and everything. But not the case this time...I resume compositing, and try my desktop effect shortcuts, but nothing happens and it comes up saying for me to press Alt+Shift+F12 to resume the compositing again. I do that, but still nothing, and I even re-apply the desktopct settings completely and restart the computer and it comes up saying that none of them were activated or something in the notifications pop-up on the bottom right of the screen. I thought I downloaded the right files (OpenGL??) from the repositories along with basically anything I thought would make it work.

Midnight Commander startup is usually instantaneous, but when the network (eth0) is down, mct takes over a minute to start.This is a known problem. See:#40 (savannah: MC doesn't open if network gateway inaccessible.) (07 Jan 2007)for example. The problem seems to be caused by mc's use of samba. Is there a known solution or circumvention? The above file advises me to "comment out the eth0 interface from the smb.conf "; however, my /etc/samba/smb.conf seems to have no eth0 interface.The "man mc" file mentions that "smbfs" is one of the virtual file systems used internally by mc. I tried reducing the "vfs" timeout in the ".mc/ini" file from 60 to 5, but this had no effect on the startup time.

I have a problem with LibreOffice 3.3.3.1 (from the libreoffice stable repository) and some (not all!) .doc files. When opening some .doc files LibreOffices starts and directly closes . The same problem occurs (for the same files) with LibreOffice from the unstable repository. When I go back to the LibreOffice version (3.3.1) shiped with 11.4. everything works fine. Hence, if you have problems with some .doc files downgrade to 3.3.1.

I have quite a strange problem with Skype and Opensuse. First problem was that when I used microphone on Audigy 4 (from some reason recognised as Audigy 2) the sound which people received from me was very chirpy. This problem was solved easily, I just turned my on-board sound system on and started using micorphone from integrated card. And here comes my weird problem. Microphone works all right, but only for short period. After some time after I start talking to someone on Skype the microphone turns itself off, but I can still hear my interlocutors. The only solution is to go to Yast and restart sound system or to restart whole computer, both of which are not real solutions, but well, they sort of work. I'm using Opensuse 11.2 x64.

I am using some unstable set of kde packages with opensuse 11.2-i586, at the moment the version number is
KDE 4.4.62 (KDE 4.5 >= 20100203).
That I have these packages is due to some misconfiguration / error, and I would like to replace them with something stable, say kde 4.4.1. I had a look into yast, found an option like "use these (kde 4.4) packages as system packages", but run into numerous compatability issues afterwards so that I can't make the switch.
So my question is: How can I replace the unstable kde 4.5 packages with kde 4.4.1? I don't know suse very well, so if there is some step-by-step description available somewhere

Thinking of installing Kimpanel plasmoid for Japanese input as an alternative to Skim due to it's unstable / incompatibility with KDE4. Anybody have any experience with it? Which anthy backend works best? scim-anthy or ibus-anthy? Install instructions at all or does it drag in all its own dependencies?

I'm rather new to Linux and haven't been on it for more than a week. I've been trying to find a Linux operating system that'd be compatible with my computer - I went through about 4 of them before finding openSUSE and really liking it. My main problem now, however, is that it seems to be rather unstable when it comes to running programs after a while. I've been on the computer for about 30 minutes for this session and tried using skype, for example. After about 5-10 minutes of using it, skype ended up crashing. There weren't any other programs open at the time either. After a while of doing anything, it usually lags up, taking about a minute to unstick so programs respond, and even gets to the point where it sometimes doesn't detect my keyboard strokes (though I think this is a separate problem that has to do with the disfunctional multimedia buttons - usually, after a minute or two, the typing begins to work again).
I've also noticed, however, that when trying to start up, the computer automatically goes to a 'start up options' screen where I can either boot in openSUSE normally or try the failsafe option. Is this normal? Usually, before shutting down or booting up, a black screen with white writing will flash by, sometimes followed by multicolored stripes before settling on the openSUSE log-in screen - at first this freaked me out and I'm still not sure if that means it's having an adverse reaction with the computer. The webcam doesn't stay disabled either after restarting, but I'm not sure if this is normal or not.
Has anyone else experienced these problems? The Windows Vista Home 64-bit that I had installed on my computer originally was OEM and I tried calling Gateway for help with the computer when something happened to the operating system that made it unable to connect to the internet regardless of what I tried to do (even the system diagnostics tool didn't help). I mention this because I'm wondering if the fact that it was OEM might have something to do with it? Or should I not try Linux at all on here and return back to Windows for this one? I've read around and a few people have said Linux is best working when installed by the manufacturer before purchase. Is this true?
After the problem with Vista, when I came upon the Linux OS's I was really intrigued, and I find I really like them especially for the fact that there's so much interaction with the terminal command prompt. I'd like to continue working with the openSUSE OS but does it sound like I should? or should I install the 32-bit version instead?

after I installed gnome-do and set it to start at start-up, my computer has started freezing right after gnome-do initiates.what happens is I turn on my laptop and log in, and then when the desktop initiates, gnome-do starts and then immediately the prompt window for the login keyring pops up and then my dekstop environment freezes. I can move my cursor around, but when I click nothing happens and the keyboard is unresponsive. the only option is to hard reboot, but the same thing happens all over again. the curious thing though, is that the notification for connecting to a network is perfectly functional and the system monitor continues to record.

I have used debian in the past and I am pretty comfortable with it but I have been having an issue. My desktop has randomly frozen two times. All my applications are still running though. For example, I was still able to talk on skype with my friend. However, all I can do is move my mouse but I can not click on anything forcing me to restart. Here are some things that might be helpful:
-I was using compiz both times (I am assuming this might be why. however, I have used compiz on ubuntu and I have never had a problem)
-I use an ATI graphics card
-It froze the first time when I accidently tried to extract the skype install deb.
-It froze the second time when I pressed close in software sources
-Since I have installed debian, I have installed compiz, compiz effect packages, removed openoffice, installed opera, installed google chrome, installed flash, and installed skype.
Does anyone know why my desktop crashed?

I have 2 workspaces and when i switch to the 2nd one (either with Ctrl-Alt-Left or by clicking with the mouse) after loging in, the desktop freezes. I have to do a Ctrl-Alt-Backspace to kill the xserver and log in again. Removing the workspace switcher and adding it again does not solve the problem. And I can't find any message in the logs.
