However something is still amiss, while the desktop did come up OK, every Konsole window starts up with this message repeated 3 times -
ERROR: ld.so: object '/lib64/libreadline.so.4' from /etc/ld.so.preload cannot be preloaded (cannot open shared object file): ignored. Show full content of /etc/ld.so.preload Hi Andrei - Well I will do the best I can but first I regret to say my SuSE15.3 system will not boot up at all. Fortunately I still have a SuSE15.1 system on this computer that does boot up fine. So I can boot it up and then look at files in the partition that contains SuSE15.3. Here is what I found -
nova:/etc # cd /SuSE15.3/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ nova:/SuSE15.3/etc/ld.so.conf.d # ls graphviz.conf nova:/SuSE15.3/etc/ld.so.conf.d # more graphviz.conf /usr/lib64/graphviz /usr/lib64/graphviz/sharp /usr/lib64/graphviz/java /usr/lib64/graphviz/perl /usr/lib64/graphviz/php /usr/lib64/graphviz/ocaml /usr/lib64/graphviz/python /usr/lib64/graphviz/lua /usr/lib64/graphviz/tcl /usr/lib64/graphviz/guile /usr/lib64/graphviz/ruby
As for my current status, David Rankin send me instructions to do -
$ sudo ldconfig
but I think I got that too late. While I had 15.3 up and running it notified me that I had some updates to install. So I thought why not and went ahead and let my system update. One of the updates was for the kernel and that requires a reboot. So I rebooted and now my system is seriously hung up. I get as far as selecting which OS I want to bring up, and if I select 15.3, the computer almost instantly hangs and freezes. I cannot even get the escape key to bring down the SuSE logo and show the progress as the various startup scripts and other things run. Nor does the file /var/log/boot.log contain any info, nothing was written to it. So I almost had 15.3 running but then things went sideways. I then had an idea to try, and that was to copy libreadline.so.4 back to /lib64 and try booting up with the intention that if I could again get the 15.3 system up and running (without the KDE/Plasma desktop) I could then SSH in to the system and run the ldconfig script that David Rankin told me to do. But still no joy, the system still hangs/freezes right after I select the 15.3 system to start up. So this is where things now stand. I will try, not very hopeful, to remove the libreadline.so.4 file from /lib64 again to see if that makes any difference. If so, will get back to you with the results... As always, thanks for your thoughts!
