I would agree that if it's not your Nvidia drivers, then I would look at your hardware. I had a PC that locked up on me all the time, and it turned out to be a bad mobo. I hope for your sake that it's the drivers. I would re-install the drivers and go from there.

upgrading only a part of the kde-files can lead to catastrophic results (i destryoed my kde on suse twice... then i dumped suse :D). thus always do a full upgrade if possible.

 

it can be that you installed a somehow bad rpm. do a rpm search for the kdm in the net (there are many repositories) and try deinstalling the troublesome kdm-file and reinstalling the new rpm.

 

good luck.

It upgraded just fine at home, but on my laptop at work, it failed somehow...I am actually using MDK 10 on my lap at work (not because of the kdm issue, but to see another distro).

Is this after an upgrade of some sort? I upgraded some KDE files on my SuSE machine, and it effectively made kdm misfunction. I haven't found an answer to help me with that one (other than switching to xdm for my login manager...). I wish I had a better answer, but maybe my insight will help somebody else understand the problem better...

I checked the KDE site after posting, and found the same information...Should have looked first...

B)

I have KDE 3.3 on my Suse 9.0 box, and i love it. I upgraded from 3.1 though....

Any word on the Mandrake rpm yet? I'd like to try it out on MDK.

I assume your proxy server settings are setup in the media manager section of Control Center...Mine works with these settings in.

All of those mentioned above are good...I like Mplayer myself.

Have you tried changing the user password? Maybe it doesn't like it for some reason...

login as root in console:

"passwd user_name"

I would also suggest changing the login manager to kdm...
