Hi
Already posted the crash as a bug under 165743
But what I want to do is to get an operational KDE system again and I am out of my depth.
found in .xsession-errors the following lines

[i]Plasma crashed, attempting to automatically recover
plasma(4874): Communication problem with "plasma" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
[/i]
[i]kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/bin/krunner

plasma(4892): Communication problem with "plasma" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " [/i]

Which will hopefully be meaningful to someone.
But what I need is to get back a working system

Can anyone help?

Hi
Thanks for the response. I have solved the problem see below. but more on the crash first
Running under Suse 11 after failed 4.1 upgrade, system starts with KDE 4.1 startup. The startup screen reaches the point of seeing the big K when all goes black and stays that way. It will accept commands such ALT + F2 which are visible.
Solution was to fire up YAST and downgrade all KDE 4 back to 4.0.X. This works and I now have an operational system again.
Regards

Hi

Resolved the bug by reinstalling 4.1 from Suse factory and this time no probs. Everything fine.
Still do not like absence of icons for open windows or lack of options to tailor each window but I guess these are features rather than bugs!
