Hi. I would update my SuSE 10.0 yesterday with Yast. It seemed to work ok. I have modified Yast per the instruction "Update all package versions on your suse linux 10.0 machine" found on the Novell site. It has worked fine, and for instance it has updated my KDE excellent. After the updae yesterday I was told to reboot, due to get the new kernel effective. I did it, and then the problem occurred. I cannot remember quite ok, what happened, but I decided to boot with my DVD, to be able to repair the installation. Now it can boot ok again. But it starts up as its in runlevel runlevel 3 -not the X-. Running Yast I can see, that the runlevel is set to 5. I'm sure the problem is to be found in the X. Then I tried a startx from both root and user. Here's the report from the usertry: xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libXext.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory X Window System Version 6.8.2 Release Date: 9 February 2005 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.8.2 Build Operating System: SuSE Linux [ELF] SuSE Current Operating System: Linux lajka3 2.6.13-15-default #1 Tue Sep 13 14:56:15 UTC 2005 i686 Build Date: 12 September 2005 Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.X.Org to make sure that you have the latest version.
