Thanks to everyone for the suggestions. I tried a few things, including getting rid of the Nvidia driver that was installed during upgrade. Also removed the old xorg.conf file and fixed a reference in sysconfig to the nvidia driver. All without success. Ran a fresh install from DVD and now have the system back in working order, including the Nvidia drivers. Robert On 09/17/2010 12:22 PM, Robert Schweikert wrote:
Hi,
Used zypper dup to move from 11.1 to 11.3, and now my desktop will no longer display. Well, the background displays OK, but there is no panel and right click on the desktop does not work either.
When I remotely log into the machine and set $DISPLAY to :0.0 and then try to start xlock for example I get the following:
-> xclock No protocol specified Error: Can't open display: :0.0
Starting a GNOME app such as just results in the following:
-> gnome-terminal No protocol specified Failed to parse arguments: Cannot open display:
-> echo $DISPLAY :0.0
Any ideas what's going on here and how to fix it?
Thanks, Robert
