I found that my backgrounds (6 virtual dekstops) can float around if you click on them(grab) and move mouse cursor around. This is something ugly to me and I would like to request your to make my backgrounds fixed and stable.

Secondly, it defaults with 4 desktops in a 2X2 grid layout. I changed it to 2, then back to 4 and now it has 4 desktops in a linear layout (1x4). How can I change it back to 2X2?
I've had this problem for a long time (since I first installed 11.2) but I hoped KDE SC 4.4 would fix it for me. Since it didn't, I decided to make a thread about it. I have a really weird problem ─ I can only set svg graphics as desktop backgrounds. I can't put any kind of png/jpg (haven't tried others) picture as a wallpaper. All I get is a black background. The weather backgrounds etc. work perfectly fine. I can create a svgz file in Inkscape and insert a png image in it but that's kind of a stupid workaround for a problem. Has anyone encountered a problem like this?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIt has been about a month since I installed openSUSE 11.3 (64bit, Gnome), and overall it is better than 11.2, but I have had some stability issues that I did not have with 11.2.
1. openSUSE 11.3 crashes very often when I change desktop background. I haven't experiment with it but it happens with downloaded images.
2. Changing monitor environment makes openSUSE to freeze. Fresh boot with external monitors connected usually works, but plugging & unplugging monitors usually makes openSUSE freezing. (I have to force power down)
3. Suspend makes openSUSE freeze a lot. Usually one suspension works, if I re-suspend it, it usually freezes.
I was wondering if these are common with 11.3 or I'm the only one who is having this.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI originally have Ubuntu Lucid on my machine. I just installed opensuse 11.2 on another partition without bootloader installed. So I'm still using the Ubuntu Lucid default bootloader grub2. I can boot up opensuse correctly. the nagging thing is that there's no splash screen show up during the boot process, instead, lines of command are flashing, the console background is also missing and the font under console (tty1-6) is huge. what can I do to have these back to opensuse? the current entry in grub2 for opensuse
Code:
menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (on /dev/sda2)" {
insmod ext2

How to change the installation background not desktop background.
After installing gnome-color-chooser for Ubuntu 10.10, I followed all the steps to enable transparent gnome menu. When I logged out and logged back into my user, the gnome panel menu was transparent as It should be however, the desktop background changed color and I cannot change the desktop by right clicking the desktop. If I do right click and try to, the entire desktop and all programs freeze. The mouse works but that is it. Whenever I try to open gnome-color-chooser, I get this error message : ERROR Could not open or create file /home/User/.gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both gnome color chooser and gnome panel with no luck.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI tried to install the 2.6.31.12 kernel (as suggested for security reasons) twice, and each time, I got a *BIG* mess up of the installation. Here is the story (I'll try to keep it short): The installation of the kernel was not a problem, it went fine both time (I just had to reorganize Grub entries a bit). At first, all was running normal. Suddenly, after having left the computer idle for a moment, I was faced with a black screen (blanker probably) and I could not wake up the system: no mouse, no keyboard, all seemed to be frozen and I had to press the reset button.
After the reboot, and as soon as the desktop was loaded, I got an error message saying that /var has 0 bytes left ! The nightmare began... The first time that happened, I tried to find what was wrong in /var and /var/log , but found nothing abnormal. The info given by the Diskinfo tool were strange, sometimes showing /var as 100% full, sometimes it was /home that was 100% full and some other times it was /. I tried to fall back to kernel 2.6.31.8 using Yast, but it failed at the middle of the process. At this point I realized that the system was very unstable.
I then booted the Install HD and run the repair mode. Some errors were found and corrected, but in the end, the system was not repaired; and worst, Grub lost all entries except the floppy one. (Hopefully, I knew how to boot the Install HD from Grub's command line). I tweaked again and again, and finally got my system up again with kernel 2.6.31.8 (don't remind all the steps). Recently, as the kernel update was still suggested, as there were other updates in the meantime (like mkinitrd), and as haven read anyone else complaining about 2.6.31.12, I decided to give a try again.
And again, a couple of days later, same symptoms: black frozen screen, no space left in /var. As I knew the system was unstable, I immediately booted the Install HD. Tried the repair mode and it failed (just mess Grub again). Tried to (update) install kernel 2.6.31.8 from there and it also failed. I then started the rescue mode and tried to delete some big files in /var (again I did not found any monstrous thing in there), then tried again the repair and update process with no better results.
From rescue mode, I finally deleted everything in /var (that was not a good idea as I also deleted some NEEDED files)... Got the system to boot, but only to the text login: nscd failed because of missing files in /var, starx failed because no X server found, ... Fed up, I lastly decided to "update" all system base RPM, the Gnome and KDE desktop environment from the 11.2 install HD, then update everything again with Yast Online Update.

AAO D255, all updates, Ununtu 11.04My desktop background and folder icons are dim in comparison to the slider and any program I open. I also notice that when I run a program that installs anything that screen dims (gets like this grey opacity I guess) after a period of time. I am plugged into the wall so the laptop is NOT running on battery.Is there some setting I need to tweak after this latest install? This did NOT occur prior to samesaid.
