gnome trouble after kernel upgrade
 
Hi,
I am using Suse 9.1 and updated today the kernel using yast from 2.6.4 to 2.6.5-7.
With the kernel also KDE was upgraded, which I also have installed, but am using gnome.

After installing, yast warned that if I am using lilo I should run /sbin/lilo.

I am not (using grub), so I didn't.

Next thing my ext3 partition could not be mounted at boot.

So I recompiled the kernel with ext3 compiled into it, and updated the boot partition with the new image.

Then Gnome would start but all fonts/menus were gone, so I could not do anything else than kill X and try KDE -
with KDE there were no problems.

So I removed Gnome entirley (using yast) and then installed it again.

No I can run gnome but:

1. My Menus have no icons. This is not the end of the world but concerning because there is somewehre a problem...

2. My mouse does not accelerate, which is very bad for work :-(
Trying o change the mouse settings I have got an error message, that the control center can not write to the configuration files.

Will be very greatfull for any tips---

Cheers,
Ron

are you sure you also updated/reinstalled the libraries also?

I removed Gnome completeley, and then reinstalled it.
I am not sure I installed all the libraries needed, but, using yast, I searched for all gnome libraries (selection view -> gnome, and search "gnome") - though I would not like to reinstall "everything" - but rather know maybe what is missing...

Cheers,
Ron
