maybe I missed something big but just updated to 20200105-0 and didn't see any mesa "stuff". surely you can better describe what you started with and what you did. did you attempt to login w/o graphical view? but, maybe you are "the only one". -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

OK I just installed the snapshot 20200105 and still the same, Instead of going to to the graphical login it stays in the command line. Everything works but I still use kde/plasma. Is there a simple command to do that? Or do I have to use the Yast in the command line mode? I tried as root but read online that startx no longer works. This is what happens when you you do something one way for a long time. I did nothing except reboot after the previous update.

you probably have a graphics driver problem, but I know nothing about AMD. You might try from the command-line as root: systemctl isolate multi-user that will take you away from the graphical mode open a tty as <user> startx -- :0 that may open a graphical login screen for you in kde/plasma5
Or do I have to use the Yast in the command line mode? I tried as root
but read online that startx no longer works.
I sometimes use "startx" and have no problem. I don't know why someone would claim it no longer works, but maybe it is being removed.

maybe your install/update failed, try as root from command-line: zypper -v ve and if no error, zypper -v ref && zypper -v dup -d && zypper -v dup -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

I do not have your problem, so this is just a guess - in case you somehow changed systemd ..... Check if you have enabled graphical target: sudo systemctl status graphical.target If disabled - enable it: sudo systemctl enable graphical.target start it: sudo systemctl start graphical.target Tomas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks for the help so far...I was thinking it was the updates, but it looks like it is something else. The Xorg log is showing like setting up for a 500X285 screen size so there must be something wrong with the drivers. If there is no easy fix for this I will have to do another clean install. Thanks for the help so far. mike

What's wrong is that Xorg sets whatever screen size is required to make the resulting logical DPI 96. If you desire an accurate DPI, work is involved to override this insanity, which is designed to emulate Windows and accommodate ineptly designed web sites. It's not just Xorg either. Upstream, Gnome forces 96 too, unless an appropriate overriding config is applied by the local admin. The Gnome insanity has been patched out of openSUSE, but not Xorg's. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

OK thanks...someone reported a bug on the archlinux bugzilla FS#56994 - [mesa, xorg-server] mesa 17.3.1-2 and xorg-server-1.19.6-2 fail to start on AMD kaveri This seems to be the problem I am having....there are some suggestions there about changing the xorg configuration.. I am wondering if I should try these or file a bug report... mike

Without more information there's no way to know what you should do. Please upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log and journalctl -b output and if it exists /var/log/sddm.log to http://susepaste.org/ That works from the cmdline using the susepaste command, except that the command will probably tell you it failed. You'll probably need to goto susepaste.org and find those to uploads before you can report their URLs here. If this doesn't work for you, use http://pastebin.com/ instead. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is religion, not science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks!

You were right the response was pastebin failed so I had a few problems getting the files into a windows box and 2 of them transfered, don't know what happened to sddm.log, now I see login on the paste page, and it's an openid which I don't have.

OK the latest snapshot 20200107 fixed the login, so I guess it was the wrong mesa files.....Thanks to all........... mike

Everything works but I still use kde/plasma. Is there a simple command to do

Question: are you inserting a blank line between each of your text lines? Please don't, it makes reading and replying more difficult. You say
Everything works but I still use kde/plasma.
Perhaps you mean that you want to use kde/plasma, but you are in text mode?
Is there a simple command to do that? Or do I have to use the Yast in the command line mode?
First we have to diagnose why you are in text mode.
I tried as root but read online that startx no longer works.
This would be new, startx should work *as root*, as far as I know. Please pay attention to the messages it prints when it fails and copy them here. Or take a photo with your phone (no flash) and upload to susepaste.org. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
