KDE sometimes fails to start
 
Hello!

I am very new to linux....


Since about one week, my OpenSuse 11.1 sometimes does not start automatically KDE 3.5 as configured. This failure does not occur every start up, just from time to time. It stops booting in command line mode telling me:

"....
Master Resource Control: runlevel 5 has been reached
Skipped services in runlevel 5: nfs

Welcome to openSuse.....
login: "

The last changes i did were installing VMWare Server 2, could this take effect? Does anybody have an idea? Where can I find the boot logfiles?

thanks, flo

Have you tried
Code:

dmesg
cheers,

should dmesg help me printing my bootlogs?

Do you mean "print to screen"? or actually print on paper? If the former then yes; if the latter then
Code:

dmesg > /tmp/dmesg.txt
will print them to a file called "dmesg.txt" in your /tmp folder. You can print that file for a hard copy.

In general the logs are found in /var/log

dmesg
 
So, Yesterday the error apeared again, I used dmesg > file, but i can't find anything interesting in, maybe I don't know what I am looking for :-) its quite long, should I post it?
