"SOLVED" Issues after update of PCLOS
« on: January 31, 2011, 02:37:18 PM »

Problem arose after loading LCDPROC - just removed it, everything is OK now. rgds




Hello
 
Please somebody help me.
As of late,  after updating PCLOS KDE4 2010.12 I am experiencing the following annoying problems.
Hitting key 2 while in a terminal, Office Writer, or Tunderbird turns screen black and sends me to login menue thus losing text I am presently working on.
Also on shutdown I get a second transparent desktop on top of the actual one. Any way to remove it?
Any kind suggestions appreciated.

Cordially

it sounds like that key causes X to crash and it restarts itself and sends you to the log in screen. Are you on a desktop or laptop? what laptop model if its a laptop and what keyboard if its a desktop, is it one of those multimedia keyboards?

Try to have the heading of your thread be a bit more descriptive of your problem next time. You could miss people who know how to solve your problem when the title isnt very descriptive

ps:
The entire GUI rests on a program called "X" and everything goes under when it crashes.

I'm on a desktop pc. Update was made first from the mirror in Italy (ist it garr.it?)  next from http://distro.ibiblio.org/pclinuxos/pclinuxos/apt/.The problem may originate after changing the graphic card from a Nvidia FX to a Radeon 2 (by the way it has just crashed to login screen when writing 2 --had to rewrite post)   ??

did you update then change the graphic card or changed the card then update. Two things are in play here and could complicate the solution.

Try to go to pcc and reconfigure your card. It wouldnt hurt posting the contents of "./etc/X11/xorg.conf" text file. Put the content in code tags for easy readability
