http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1208904 Bug ID: 1208904 Summary: X11 login form broken Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Maintenance Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: antoine.mechelynck@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: Community User Blocker: --- Not sure if I filed this bug in the right Component, feel free to reassign. Tumbleweed 20230301. Didn't happen in February versions. When trying to boot and log in to X11, an error page (white with black text) appears (on tty7), as follows: (screen icon with unhappy face) Oh, no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please contact a system administrator. Ctrl-Alt-F1 to Ctrl-Alt-F6 still work and I can log in in text mode. Temporary solution: - Manually edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and give DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN a nonemty value for an existing username. This user, even if root, will be logged in automatically into X without needing a password. - Manually edit /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager and make sure DEFAULT_WM is defaulted. - Run update-alternatives --config default-xsession.desktop and select something else than gnome or plasma5. With lxde it works, though AFAICT only two virtual desktops will be available and everything will be displayed bigger than it used to be. - Close X11 and start it again (e.g. init 3 followed by init 5). Results: You are now logged into the GUI, bypassing the X11 login form. The error screen remains visible on /dev/tty7. It is still not possible to log into a different user in GUI mode, other than by changing the value of DISPLAYMANAGER_AUTOLOGIN in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager then closing down and restarting X11. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
