SuSE menu disappears in KDE

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions 6.0 to 6.1

Symptom:

When the KDE environment/window manager was installed, there was a SuSE submenu available from within the K-menu. This SuSE menu later disappeared.

Cause:

The package susewm contains a file called /var/lib/susewm/susewm.kwm which is 0 bytes in size. When generating the menus, susewm has problems with the time stamp of this file.

Solution:

The following steps should recreate the menu for you.

First, you must verify and/or set the following value in the file /etc/rc.config to include the parameter kwm :

   SUSEWM_WM="all"

or alternatively

   SUSEWM_WM="fvwm2 fvwm95 kwm"

Then, run the following commands as the user root :

   rm -f /var/lib/susewm/susewm.kwm
   cd /opt/kde/share/applnk
   rm -fr SuSE
   touch /var/adm/packages
   SuSEconfig

We are quite interested in the success or failure of this problem. A short note to Martin.Scherbaum@suse.de describing your experience would be appreciated.
