I could track it down to /dev/nvidiactl: the gdm greeter seems not to have sufficient permissions to access this device, causing the error.
/dev/nvidiactl is created as crw-rw---- root:video; which obviously is not matching the gdm user's permission.

Add gdm to video group. ;-) I didn't see such an issue with KDE/kdm. What has changed in kdm?
I thought we wanted to avoid adding users to specific groups like this? We can do this, of course; I just want to be sure that it's the right way forward, or if it's just a temporary workaround (for 12.1).
Ping? Should we go this way, and just for 12.1 or forever? There's a submit request from Dominique that does this, and we just need confirmation...
It would be a workaround forever I guess. AFAIK /dev/nvidia* is not created via udev, therefore not known to udev, therefore no ACLs so no access for the desktop. That's the only reason why we still add users to the video group. So you need to do that for gdm too then. Shouldn't there be a fallback in case GL doesn't work though? cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
