Resistance is Futile.
hey there, I shifted to openSUSE 11 & KDE 4.1 recently, while till yesterday everything was working fine. Now all of a sudden, on booting, I get a console login. The system *does* goto run level 5, though. after logging in, I've to issue a startx for KDE to start.
Now the here it gets weirder
1. On issuing startx I get auto-logged in, even though I have auto-login disabled (I *did* have it enabled previously, afterwards I've disabled it)
2. The DE to which I get booted into is random - sometimes its KDE4.1, sometimes its KDE 3.5.9, sometimes its Gnome, although I didn't choose to install KDE 3.5.9 OR Gnome, prolly got isntalled because of some dependencies ? :-/ I have no idea.
3. Even on the rare occasions that I do get a KDE4.1 bootup, I plasma crashes with a sigsev
I tried removing .kde and .kde4 directories in /home but makes no difference
Any suggestions on
(1) How to get the GUI without having to issue startx?
(2) Ensuring that KDE 4.1 is what starts up ?
EDIT: Seems like KDE4.1 is starting, plasma doesn't load, when I issue plasma & at terminal, plasma gets loaded with widgets, ie, with the second Application launch bar and all:

Upon checking kdm.log seems kdmgreet is crashing, here's /var/log/kdm.log
