[opensuse-factory] VMware Workstation 8 + Tumbleweed -> no Desktop
I'm trying to install a rolling openSUSE under VMware workstation 8.0.4 . I did a fresh default desktop installation of openSUSE 12.1 with KDE. Updated to the latest patch level using Yast update, and switched to Tumbleweed following the discussion on http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Tumbleweed After reboot, I am unable to open a desktop environment. The display drops back to KDM login screen after a login. I can login from terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1). From /var/log/messages it appears that this is caused by "no mtrr found" (I have 3D acceleration off in VMware). Before I start digging into the hardware details of VMware I would like to know if you guys can help me out with this one. Note that for the 12.1 installation I used the prebuilt Open Virtual Machine Tools guest kernel module rather than build the kernel module from the VMware tools source. Thanks for your ideas.

have you tried to explicitly selecting the KDE Desktop in the KDM Login screen? I had this a couple times after upgrading to Tumbleweed. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
That was it. Thanks! I can't believe I missed it. On 24-7-2012 16:22, Philipp Wagner wrote:
