Linux

Yesterday my laptop ran out of power and during the emergency shutdown stuff got apparently screwed up. When I tried to log into KDE this morning, I got the following error message: There was an arror setting up inter-process communication for KDE /home/jeltsch/.DCOPserver_michael-laptop__0 could not read network connection list Please check that "dcopserver" is running This is again a very non-informative error message.

To figure out what kernel you are running just type ver Of course you can also just look into /boot and look to which kernel the default links are pointing to.

I downloaded again a VMware release to test (4.5.2). But it didn't even wanted to be configured. Apparently Suse has screwed up the installation source directory tree structure. I found this fix: cd /usr/src/linux su make cloneconfig make prepare After this the vmware-config.pl should run ok. Before running the vmware-config.pl I also applied the vmware-any-any-update78 patch. BTW: You have to repeat this procedure everytime you update your kernel! After updating to 9.2 I had more problems.
