In its place is black bar and no access to Kmenu. On the unexpected reboot I can be in the middle of something and it just goes back to logon Please advise and thanks Allen

So you try to login and then you are sent back to the kdm login screen? is that right? New to KDE Software? - get help from Userbase or ask questions on the Forums Communicate.
texas.chef94 Registered Member Posts 4 Karma 0	RE: Panel loss and unexpected reboot to user sign in Mon Dec 01, 2008 9:32 am Thank you for your interest and sorry for not using more clarity, probably the downside of being 77 and overcoming Linux challenges. At boot I get the black and sort grey background with curlicues and a centered box with signin and displaying 4.1 identification. There has been times when I signed in was brought to desktop than back to signin, but that has been infrequent. The really troublesome aspect of this issue is gettingsigned in and either be reading an article or reading or composing E-mail and it happens. I have tried to track a timed sequence, but there does not appear to be any. Hope this helps. Allen

Are you running Compiz as well (the glitzy effects including the cube)? If I were you I'd turn off the effects completely and see whether this behaviour continues. Debian testing

As to effects I need to check on that. I have SUSE 11 as well with KDE 3.5 I think I would need to check. But I mention it because no unexpected reboots occur Allen Last edited by texas.chef94 on Mon Dec 01, 2008 2:45 pm, edited 1 time in total.
neverendingo Administrator Posts 2136 Karma 17 OS	RE: Panel loss and unexpected reboot to user sign in Mon Dec 01, 2008 2:51 pm it could be a xserver crash. Left-click on any windows top bar, select window behaviour and see if "enable desktop effects" is enabled. If it is, try without it.
