Riki,
Check your graphics card driver and its settings. That may be the cause of your problem.



Thanks Neal. Can you remind how to check?  :-[

"Options" when you are setting up your driver.

Also, if you are using an nVidia card, Menu > System > Configuration > NVIDIA Settings.

Check the same menu section for ATI settings.

You should install checkitnow then run it from the Menu-> System -> Monitoring. You probably have serious file corruption with all those manual poweroffs you've been doing. Checkit now will reboot your system and run a file check (fsck) on your partition.

Messed up! A number of things have happened Tex. When clicking on checkitnow a terminal opened and asked for password which I entered and nothing happened. So I rebooted and my desktop wallpaper (only have 1 desktop) has changed to an old one I had when I had 4 desktops. The icons on the desktop have been changed around (old ones that I had deleted are back!) and widgets have gone (Folder View). I don't really know what's happened and if fsck has done it's job. Checkitnow did NOT reboot my system, I did.

When i used "check it now" i never got the terminal, got a pop-up asking for "root password" Enter and another pop-up asking Do you want to reboot and check your system now?,

Sorry, not a terminal, I meant to type a box or pop-up asking for root password but when I entered the password nothing happened. No interaction.

Edit. Coolbreeze, just tried checkitnow on another machine running KDE3.5.10 and it works as you say but not on the PC running KDE4.

Tex, checkitnow works with KDE3.5.10 but not with KDE4.3.2.

I started a new thread but for some reason it was removed. Is anybody out there able to run checkitnow with KDE4.3.2?
