[olug] Upgrading from Suse 9.0 to 9.1

[Don Kauffman]

First of all, gnome and evolution were broken. Managed to get Evolution  
back by reseting the permissions in /etc/opt/gnome ...... but I'm not 
going to do that for everything Gnome. KDE is sort of stable but there 
are a few odd glitches . YAST2  is slower that it used to be.

On Ctl-Alt-F10, I get a lot of xsession-errors.

Then I use Maple 9 (math package) and that is broken. Keeps losing the 
connection to the kernel and when that's gone it's done. Reinstalled 
Maple  and  the same thing happens.

The system is slower and for an Athlon XP 1800 with 256 MB RAM that 
tells me something is mis configured. 

Like I said earlier I had problems with the ftp install so switched to 
the CD install. I suspect that's  where the majority  of the problems 
came in.

I appreciate knowing that other people have not had a problem with 
upgrading.It kind of narrows the problems down  to what happened when 
the ftp install was broken. Means I'll have to spend some "jail time' on 
windows over the next couple of weeks until I get a chance to re install 
everything.. Sigh!!!

Thanks!
