Just a hunch, can you check systemctl status tmp.mount ? On one of my machines I had a dangling symlink for /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount . I removed it, ran systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start tmp.mount And then /tmp was back in place and graphical login worked. Robert

From: "Paul M. Livingston" Subject: Odd problem with last update to Tumbleweed Date: August 24, 2020 at 5:21:38 PM EDT To: opensuse-factory@opensuse.org Cc: "Paul M. Livingston"

Gentlepeople;

Recently updated to Tumbleweed 20200821 and found that I could not get a graphical login with the default 5.8.0-1 kernel. After exploring the problem and not finding anyway to even start the KDE environment from within the CLI login, I rebooted and discovered that under the advanced boot options there was the option of booting with the 5.7.9-1 default kernel which works just fine. Candidly can’t figure out what has gone wrong with the 5.8.0-1 default install , saw nothing relevant in a Google search, and would greatly appreciate some input as to what the problem could be. FWIW, I have been using Tumbleweed for about the last 18 months and this is the real problem that I have encountered that couldn’t be resolved with a little thought and research

Software summary for successful graphical boot:

KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Framework version: 5.73.0 Qt version: 5.15.0 Kernel version 5.7.9-1 default PS Type: 64 bit

Hardware summary:

Intel I7-4770S @ 3.1GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX750 Ti

Many thanks

Just a hunch, can you check

systemctl status tmp.mount

?

With working snapshot: ● tmp.mount - Temporary Directory (/tmp) Loaded: loaded (/proc/self/mountinfo; static; vendor preset: disabled) Active: active (mounted) since Wed 2020-08-26 07:12:19 CEST; 2h 0min ago Where: /tmp What: tmpfs Docs: https://systemd.io/TEMPORARY_DIRECTORIES man:file-hierarchy(7)

https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/APIFileSystems Tasks: 0 (limit: 4915) Memory: 128.0K CGroup: /system.slice/tmp.mount

latest snapshot something like: Unit tmp.mount could not be found.

with working snapshot no tmp.mount in /etc/systemd/ latest - a broken symlink tmp.mount-> /usr/share/systemd/tmp.mount ?

So this sounds just like the problem I had. I think 'something' creates that symlink but it should not. I have removed it, restarted systemd, checked the symlink was not there, rebooted. That seemed to have fixed it. Robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

I doesn't show up again?

There is a systemd package update in the latest snapshots...

No, it does not show up again. I am running with systemd-245.7-1.1.x86_64 Robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org
