It shouldn't be.
My Kmail is now in English, I lost the German Language ?
Not good. A big KDE update just landed in Tumbleweed today, can you update and verify that things are still broken? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I did a zypper up, got 120 packages and lost X. I rebooted and now I get dropped instantly back to login screen after giving username and pw. If I go init 3 and then startx I get: xauth: .serverauth.9646 does not exist Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old" Please consult the The X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help. xinit: giving up xinit: unable to connect to x server: Connection refused xinit: server error ________________________________________________________ xinit failed. /usr/bin/Xorg is not setuid, maybe that's the reason? If so either use a display manager (strongly recommended) or adjust /etc/permissions.local Then, as root, use a display manager: #xdm #lxdm #kdm #whatever dm always the same, a login screen, again and again. How should I try to adjust /etc/permissions.local as the error message suggests? I have no idea which package(s) caused this out of those 120... -- Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Very odd as no X packages changed. Only probably the kernel and some kde stuff. You aren't using a closed source (nvidia or ati) video driver are you?

xauth: .serverauth.9646 does not exist Fatal server error: Cannot move old log file "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" to "/var/log/Xorg.0.log.old"
Are you out of disk space? very wierd. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The kernel was there already. I also tried the previous one, same thing.

No, this one is a vm in vbox.

No, there's space enough.
very wierd.
I found it. I played with snapshots and updated stuff incrementally, booting in between. It's gpg2, gpg2-lang or gpgme. Vahis -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

How do those packages keep x from starting up? And why can't I duplicate it here? totally confused. greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I had a similar situation - It was not X that was prevented from startup (kdm launched) but logging in with my user just threw me back immediately at the login screen. In $HOME/.xsession-errors I found the cause - it was libassuan . libassuan has been updated in tumbleweed and the kde packages in tumbleweed seem to require that new version - or KDE crashes immediately. In my case, the lib was still from the standard opensuse repository. After installing the tumbleweed one, login worked again. Best regards Steffen Greg KH-2 wrote:

I had this same problem yesterday and saw the error in .xsesion-errors about assuan. I noticed that logging in worded fine with a new user so I systematically went through my home directory moving '.' files to a different directory. In the end it turned out that it was caused by .gpgme (IIRC) and after deleting that directory it worked again. I don't even think that it's just KDE breaking as I couldn't log into XFCE or ICEWM either. Only the 'Failsafe' session (just a terminal window) worked.

Why wouldn't you have installed the tumbleweed one? You always have to do a 'zypper dup' with Tumbleweed, where some packages move to the Tumbleweed repo as needed (like in this case, it was required.) So a simple 'zypper dup' should solve this, right? Why aren't people updating in this manner in the first place? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I just found that preserving older kernels in addition to the running one has influence on what gets updated. I tried to change everything to use tumbleweed repo. There were a lot of kernel related conflicts, so I canceled. I uninstalled all (two 2.6.39-versions) older kernels, devels, sources, preload... After this YaST started updating like over a hundred packages from tumbleweed repo.

If I go init 3 and then startx I get:
I think it happened to me too after the last update. I lost X. I should make another user from Init 3 and login to kdm from it. regards, medwinz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
