Suse Home Folder Problems

I recently had a really strange issue with Open Suse 11 - the contents of my home directory were totally invisible if using the file manager.

I could see them in the terminal, however I was only able to run the ls -al command as root. If I did it at my normal user level, it just hung.

After a load of reading around it seems that the culprit may well have been dodgy files in the /tmp folder.

So I removed all of the files in the /tmp folder using the command

PLAIN TEXT
CODE:
  1. rm -R /tmp/*

And then restarted and it now seems to be working fine.

However, I still haven't figured out the NetworkManager problem and have to manually start NetworkManager on every boot.

actually the problem came straight back again..

the ultimate solution was to uninstall suse and install fedora instead :-)
