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


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.
