Before doing the above, save /var/log/boot.msg to share here on the list.
Maybe there's something apparent in there to make kdm fail to show the
greeter when init completes.

So before I do anything I am posting the last 50 or 60 lines of boot.msg as
Felis suggested. Maybe one of you sharp eyed people can see the problem:

Do you have a proprietary video driver? It could be you need to rebuild the video driver. I had to do this whenever gdm fails to come up.
Thanks for the suggestion and interest Joseph No, the problem started with the nouveau driver. So I instajjed the nvidia driver from the suse/nvidia repo. Didn;t help. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Above section shows it's going into runlevel 5, then back to runlevel 3, and again into runlevel 5. Obviously it isn't finishing the second time, but there shouldn't be a second time and I have no idea why this is happening. The two 12.1 systems and 11.4 system I checked here only go into it once, as I'm sure is the way it's supposed to be. Until then try making a change in /etc/sysconfing/boot. Find RUN_PARALLEL="yes" and change the "yes" to "no", and reboot to see if it avoids the problem. It will slow boot slightly (so slight you probably won't notice), but I'm sure you'd rather wait a few seconds extra instead of suffering what you must now. If it doesn't help, revert the change, and try the other suggestions in my previous thread reply. Since you're using KDM3, follow-up may soon need to be refocused onto that mailing list, unless you want (which I suspect too much bother for you) to try switching temporarily to KDM4 or GDM as a diagnostic. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
