You say the patch has been applied but...I didn't apply it. Do I take it that the patch is already included in the distribution I have installed? Also, could this locked database have anything to do with a failed attempt to install SuSE Linux? I just installed Kubuntu over the top and it reformatted the partitions anyway? SUSE did not make half as good a job of setting up my system that Kubuntu did, hence my return to it! :) If you have any further suggestins I would appreciate it. Should I re install?
