[opensuse] Can not login as an user but root

Hi, I use opensuse-10.2. After upgrading kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.5 to kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.7 - 0.7 is latest, I can not login as an user account in both KDE/Gnome. Only root account can login. When login as user, white window comes. it looks like frozen. I tried and figure it out below: 1. this trouble does not depend desktop environment: I tried KDE and Gnome. Both have same trouble. In KDE, initial window comes, but when clicking start menu, it opens white window. I can move mouse but nothing is activated. In Gnome, no initial window comes, but all the white display. 2. this trouble happens after kernel-default-2.6.18.8-0.7, I could login as user until kernel-2.6.18.8-0.5. 3. this trouble does not depend monitor driver: I tried dell flat panel monitor and panasonic monitor too. 4. I created new user account after upgrading but not fixed. Above symptom I guess this trouble depends on kernel version or x11 version with this latest kernel. Does someone know the same trouble or how to fix it?

[opensuse] Downgrade to Vista
by Kai Ponte 01 Jan '08

Okay, this blows. (Sorry for the California term, but it is all I can think of.) After several hours of installing 10.3 on my laptop followed by terrible frustration and then several hours of installing 10.2 on my laptop, I've decided I need to downgrade to Vista. Unfortunately, the laptop must be encrypted. There is no other option, since it is a business laptop. >From what I can tell - I had a perfectly working laptop on Thursday. Yesterday I took it upon myself to upgrade to 10.3 and encrypt the home partition. Doing so caused numerous issues, mostly with locking up the screen and/or system randomly. I decided today to do a fresh install of 10.2 - which was working fine - on the system with an encrypted home partition. Same issues. System will lock up unexpectedly after either a few minutes or after an hour. I can only guess that the encryption is causing the issue. Unless anyone has further suggestions, it appears I need to downgrade to Vista (which came with the laptop) and bite the bullet. Ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Laptop recomendations
by Randal Jarrett 01 Jan '08

I'm going to have to replace my old (6+ years) Toshiba that has a amd 450Mhz processor and a whopping 20GB disk. I'm looking for recommendations for a mid range ($1k - 1.5k) laptop that is compatible with Opensuse 10.3. Please, no flamefests!!
