How the heck did this happen?

What's the problem? Looks like you opened a terminal session. Type "exit" at the prompt

Look again. There are no Window borders. Note the lower left, I hit the Windows key and there should be a taskbar at the bottom, instead it appears out of nowhere. I think I have a corrupt download. BUT this is the fifth or sixth itme I downloaded it. Why was I able to download suse with no problesm but Mandriva is giving me trouble? I also can't move those Windows. http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/1...argelg5ki7.jpg |
Seems like something corrupted your KDE settings. Try logging out, do CTRL-ALT-F1 and login as a normal user on the command line. After that, do
Code:
$mv .kde .kde_bak |
Jesus CHRIST!
It happened again. I just switched themes and BOOM. Yeah, I'd say this is a bug. http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/503...8mediumxh0.jpg Anyway the command worked. I just got KDE the way I wanted it now I have to start over. will that backup file return? |
What theme is it? Did you install it yourself or is it part of your distros KDE themes?

It happens on different themes, never the same one. |
Try creating another user and see if the same thing happens. It could be that something keeps corrupting your KDE setings.
|
it happens on other users when I do the same thing, but it is isolated to that specific accoount.
For example, if I log in as Joe, and it blows up, I log on as Henry I'm fine. |
Strange bug. If you have the disk space and the time, try to do a separate clean install and if the bug persists report it to your distros devs.

Code: $mv .kde .kde_bak $mv .kderc .kderc_bak After that do CTRL-ALT-F7 and log into KDE again and see if the problem is resolved. __________________ This process worked well on Debian too my taskbar had disappeared. The only difference was that I had to reboot and was prompted by KDE to reconfigure it. |
Just an idea: Do you use XGL or AIGLX? I had just the same problem when tweaking around with some knobs I'd better not touch...
|
I hazard a guess: you're using Mandriva 2007. There's a well known bug re: changing themes in KDE using '07. ...as in DON'T DO IT!!
Precisely why a new user works. Whatever you do don't change themes again... I learned the hard way. |
