attache the newer one. I am not sure if the old xsession-errors contain useful information already :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

What is the output of running glxinfo? I saw the similar issue, did /etc/X11/xorg.conf exist in your system? If so, try to rename it to like xorg.conf.bak and restart X to see if you can login (even use the fallback mode). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Either they are damaged, or you are using GNOME2 and GNOME3 with them at the same time. Can you clean up the NIS home directory? Or Try to remove ".cache", ".config" and ".local" on /suse/zluo.

yes, as Dominique said, it is none of Tracker's business, because of "Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 11". Besides, I can also see "NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied)". So pleas also have a try to use "Failsafe" boot option with this NIS account to see if you are able to login.

Tried recovery mode to start op opensuse. Got "GNOME failed to load" message, click on close and the desktop stays, but it must be GNOME 2 then...

check /dev/nvidiactl, the file is not existing.

It's gnome3 fallback mode. Are you using opensource NV driver? Also I am not very familiar with NIS account. Can you check if it is in local "video" group? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

No. however I use xorg-x11-driver-video-nouveau on other workstation. It doesn't occur problem like this.

No, but I don't think this has to do with video group. It has worked fine for openSUSE 11.4 and 12.1.

GNOME 3 really needs proper HW 3D support and I guessed that the latest NV closed driver probably made some changes or needs some addtional configurations (give some permissions, etc?), which caused this issue. That can also explain why openSUSE 11.4 and 12.1 do not have such issue, and your .xsession-error shows "NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied)". If 3D support cannot be properly provided, GNOME 3 will not be able to run. As that relies on NV closed driver, and you don't have such issue with opensource driver, we cannot do anything here.
