If Novell Client 2.0 SP1 is installed on SLED 10 SP1 or
SLED 10 SP2 system and you upgrade your operating
system to SLED 10 SP3, then some undesired files and
directories are not removed. These files and directories
prevent users from logging into the system using the
Greeter screen as the Gnome Session Manager crashes.
You must login as root and run the following commands
either before or after an upgrade:
cd /home
rm -f `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
rmdir `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
cd /root
rm -f `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
rmdir `find . -name "ncl*.desktop" -print`
rm -f /etc/profile.d/novell-ncl-tray.sh
For NCL 2.0 SP1 running on SLED 10 SP3, the ncl_tray
does not autostart even after executing these commands.
However, it can be started manually. We recommend you to
upgrade to NCL 2.0 SP3.
