opensuse 12.3
linux v3.7.10-1.16-desktop x86_64
I recently upgraded a server from 11.4 to 12.3. In terms of server-ness, the upgrade went fairly well: All of the services it provided previously are still there.
The part that did not go well was the graphics part. In 11.4 it was using ATI's fglrx video driver. I removed fglrx during the upgrade. My previous experience with 12.x was that the radeon[hd] driver was the preferred replacement. Not so, it would seem, any longer. I cannot really say which driver is actually in use. The Gnome desktop crashes when I attempt to log in. KDE is functional but has odd visual artifacts.
Yesterday I noticed that the swap file was almost full. "Hmm!" I thought, "Yet another oddity." It is not like there is any memory constraint. I decided to log out which is a workaround for a spontaneously filling swap file.
I cannot log out! I click on "Leave" and nothing happens. I click on the Exit button the in KDE menu list, select LogOut, ... and nothing happens. I entered ctrl+alt+del multiple times; nothing.
How do I logout of a session that refuses to even acknowledge such an operation exists?
