[opensuse-gnome] Trouble with GS 3.6 installation
I know our beloved Dominique is partying it up in Prague this weekend, but hoping an answer can come about anyway. :-) I finally got around last night to installing 12.2 + GNOME 3.6 on a physical machine instead of in VM and I encountered problems once 3.6 was installed. After installing 12.2 (with GNOME only) and zypping it up to be fully updated, I added the G:S 3.6 repo and installed all bits to be updated from that repo. Upon restart, the GDM would hang with nothing but a spinning mouse cursor. As an experiment, I did another fresh install only this time setting my user account to automatically log in. This time when getting to 3.6, I would get the "Oops, something is wrong" screen when starting up in GDM. So, I finally did yet another clean install and just stayed with original 12.2 with full dupping. I'm not sure what I can do as I wanted to fully immserse myself in 3.6 this week while I'm on the road and relying on my laptop. Thoughts? Suggestions? Magical dance spells to cast?

Hi,
I am not sure, if you install openSUSE with default Gnome 3.4 and
updated to 3.6 using zypper OR installed openSUSE Gnome 3.6 build.
If openSUSE Gnome 3.6 build, then try to give the GS36 repo higher
priority like 98 or any number less than 99 then do zypper.
If installed fresh openSUSE 12.2 Gnome 3.4, then i would suggest to
download openSUSE Gnome 3.6 build instead of doing dup to Gnome 3.6
and give it a try, if that boots fine, install should be fine.

Thanks

Thoughts? Suggestions? Magical dance spells to cast?

Did you manage to collect some log files? (/var/log/gdm in this case)

Thoughts? Suggestions? Magical dance spells to cast? Well, it usually helps to, in the middle of the night, go naked in the streats, have a candle in your hand, head covered in white masks and show your finger (middle one, either hand) to any passing police car.
That should get you going (somewhere). Greets, Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
