[opensuse-factory] Can't boot to Gnome live
I can't boot to runlevel 5 in the M6 Gnome live CD. The last message is "Loading keymap," and the screen then turns black and the system crashes. I'm trying to run it on VirtualBox 3.2. I can boot to the runlevel 3 login prompt, but I'm not sure what the username/password are and haven't taken it any further. M5 was fine until I did a dup with zypper. I scrapped that machine. I can boot to a Fedora vm so I'm not sure if the problem is in VB or the disk image. It passes the integrity tests. Any suggestions on this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I can boot to the 11.3 live CD. Who's running M6 on VirtualBox? Were there any problems on the installation or upgrade? jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What version of VB? I had some problems with 4.0.0, but 4.0.2 seems OK. Larry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

The same here with KDE. GNOME update is running, so I have no answer what is going to happen, but after reading this I can suspect that it will be crash. The problem is probably new kernel and vbox video driver. In KDE it will boot to the runlevel 3, but either "init 5" or startx will crash the box. I'll post if I find where is the problem. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It is not probably, it is the problem. The same in KDE and GNOME. Add 3 to grub boot command line, so it boots to run level 3 . Login as root. zypper in kernel-desktop-devel mount /dev/cdrom /mnt cd /mnt sh VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run After this reboot. System should boot without problems. (There are 2 errors during VBoxLinuxAdditions-amd64.run execution declared by insserv as FATAL, but they are related to SUSE firewall 2, and they not prevent boot.) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I have Sun VB 3.2.12. Maybe it's time for an upgrade. jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

It is VBox video driver that was compiled for previous kernel and can't run with the latest installed kernel. In a post, that was sent few seconds ago, you can find brief explanation how to solve a problem, although it will not work with LiveCD, as it uses reboot, instead of service restart.

GNOME works fine as before. (now back to KDE installation to fix remaining issues :) -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I've already upgraded to VBox 4.02, and that fixed the problem. Thanks for the information. jc -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
