The Gnome Display Manager is locking on me. It happens every time I boot into runlevel 5. It displays the login window, but there is no response to the mouse or keyboard. Is this a problem anyone else has been having?

Yeah, I'm seing the same here (in VirtualBox). I picked Xfce DE in 1st stage of installation, rebooted, logged in with gdm (but got half-baked Gnome session instead of Xfce - that is a known bug - bnc#481468, comment #14). Then I went to YaST and picked a different keyboard. Since then, I can only boot into runlevel 3, as keyboard and mouse are completely frozen in runlevel 5. I thought it was the keyboard setup that broke it for me (but it should not happen anyway)... I'll try to debug it further hB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

What version of openSUSE & GNOME are you using, that might help to locate the problem, esp if there is a known bug.

OK, this (using yast2-keyboard) is The Step that makes the whole thing reproducibly freeze for me. So don't try it at home, kids :-) :-) I've filed a bug (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=535661), yet I still miss some official announcement saying "Hey folks, do not use sax2 (keyboard & mouse part) anymore, use this and that instead". I saw it mentioned in several threads here in os-Factory, but only after thorough search. Maybe I've just overlooked something ... hB. -- \\\\\ Katarina Machalkova \\\\\\\__o YaST developer __\\\\\\\'/_ & hedgehog painter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
