On a different computer, I installed leap, just to see what it offered. It got very little use, but was left in sleep mode until I tried to bring it up today. It came up, but it was unhappy-- things in the GUI didn't work. Rebooted. Came up black screen with mouse cursor in center. Long story short, nothing I tried, including rescue mode (or whatever it's called) brought back normal operation. Finally put install disk in and tried rescue, but it asks for login: and password:
Rescue from install disk should be "root". But you will not be able to do anything with it.
You're right. I don't want to make a project out of this. What should rescue do--doug
Rescue in in the installation DVD is just a tiny tiny Linux system. To do something with it you need to know what is wrong, how to diagnose things, and how to repair them. There is nothing automatic on it, there is no help at all. Not even manuals. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from openSUSE 15.1 (Legolas))
