[opensuse-gnome] Distro upgrade to Tumbleweed breaks Gnome
I had a working tumbleweed with KDM and KDE. Tried also to login to a Gnome session from KDM which returned only the KDM login menu back again. Therefore I decided to make a new, plain 12.3 installation from scratch with only the Gnome desktop installed. Gnome 3.6 login worked ok from the GDM menu after that. Then ran 'zypper dup' which upgraded 12.3 to the latest level. Gnome 3.6 login still worked ok after that. Disabled the 12.3 repositories and added the following five for tumbleweed distro upgrade: 1. openSUSE Current OSS http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/oss/ 2. openSUSE_Current_non-OSS http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/openSUSE-current/repo/non-oss/ 3. openSUSE Current updates http://download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-current/ 4. openSUSE-Current-non-oss-current http://download.opensuse.org/update/openSUSE-non-oss-current/ 5. Tumbleweed http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:/Tumbleweed/standard/ Then ran 'zypper dup' which upgraded 306 packages to tumbleweed, possibly from Gnome 3.6 to 3.8 included. After this upgrade, neither normal mode nor Advanced (recovery) mode boot up to the GDM login menu, but stop with a black console after the last message "Reached target Graphical Interface" or after "Started LSB x Display Manager". Similar experiences and possibly solutions? Thanks, Terje J. Hanssen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-gnome+owner@opensuse.org
Terje, imho, the standard issue with TW: versions are not taken into account. I usually recommend to zypper dup --from Tumbleweed As this favors all packages in TW (or set the repo priority higher than the others). In all cases known to me, this solved the issue. Care to give it a try? Dominique
Hi Dominique, Thank you for the tip. Does that mean that I have roll back (yet another fresh install) to the updateded 12.3 again, before doing zypper dup --from Tumbleweed Does this will also fix the update from 12.3 Gnome 3.6 to TW Gnome 3.8, which possibly has not been a real problem? (My updates to Gnome 3.8 for standard 12.3 has worked fairly well). Terje Den 12. mai 2013 13:59, skrev Dimstar / Dominique Leuenberger:

Terje, there should not be any need to first roll-back. zypper dup --from will simply instruct to upgrade, prefering packages from Tumbleweed over packages in other repositories. Dominique

You shouldn't have to reinstalled. I've used "dup --from" to go forwards, GNOME3.x->forward, GNOME3.6->backwards, GNOME3.8->backwards, etc... it has always worked for me. You may have to run it twice; i just do that as a matter of course [I don't know why, but sometimes it picks up some straglers].
Ok, while this brought me some further, the current, new kernel still breaks the Gnome 3.8 login. Here is what happened on three different machines: # zypper dup --from Tumbleweed Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Computing distribution upgrade... Problem: problem with installed package kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64 Solution 1: Following actions will be done: install kernel-desktop-3.9.1-7.1.gb6484b6.x86_64 (with vendor change) openSUSE --> obs://build.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Tumbleweed deinstallation of kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64 Solution 2: keep obsolete kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64 Choose from above solutions by number or cancel [1/2/c] (c): On my mobile workstation hp8710w (Xeon cpu) I tried Solution 1. The kernel-desktop-3.9.1-7.1.gb6484b6.x86_64 upgrade now breaks Gnome 3.8 login with the message like "Sorry, something wron happened, and more" and I just had to select "Logout". On two other workstations (AMD3 cpu and Xeon cpu respectively) I choosed Solution 2 and kept kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64. After some slow logins, it looks like Gnome 3.8 works on both these machines. Thanks, Terje J.

As the distro upgrade to Tumbleweed kernel-desktop-3.9.3-9.1.g0b5d8f5.x86_64 still breaks my Gnome 3.8.2 login, I want to hear if someone else here has succeeded with this? I can login to KDE, however. There also is problematic to reboot the HP/Intel Xeon/Nvidida machine with the new kernel, as the system then hang without reboot, and I have to power off and on again to startup. (On my AMD machine I don't even get other upgrade options than to keep the obsolete kernel-desktop-3.7.10-1.1.1.x86_64) Possibly someone can tell me how to roll back to the latter working kernel, without the need to reinstall everything from scratch? # zypper dup --from Tumbleweed Loading repository data...
