I've been testing 12.1 on one of my boxes, with the intent to use it as a MythTV system. I've run into a bit of a problem however - my X server is no longer starting. I have installed the machine from scratch twice. Each time, I applied updates, made some minor changes on the desktop (I'm running KDE of course) and then enabled mysql, lirc and samba. All seemed to go well, but when I rebooted, KDE would no longer start - I get stuck at console. I have determined that setting samba to start at boot time is the cause of this. I have no idea why this is the case, and starting samba via the command line *after* KDE has loaded works just fine and it functions normally. This... shouldn't be happening should it...
You say KDE won't start, but it sounds like what you mean is KDM won't start (no GUI greeter). If so, http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2012-01/msg00075.html may be the same problem, meaning you should try the same things suggested there, starting with a root login and executing "init 3; init 5" and/or changing PARALLEL_BOOT from yes to no in /etc/sysconfig/boot. If neither help, and startx from a normal user login also fails to bring up KDE, post back here /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output from 'hwinfo --gfxcard' or 'lspci | grep VGA'. Before doing any of the above, read the release notes if you've skipped that so far. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
