So, next up (after wasting time with Fedora - screams loudly) I tried OpenSuSE 10.3 for AMD64. Worked first time. Printer prints. Rock solid. Nvidia graphics card just works as well.
Until last Friday when after an update with YaST(2) I played a game of Doom on my workstation. At the end of the game it exited abnormally and the KDE screen came back up at about 640x480 resolution. Should have been about 1400x1280 (or similar). Couldn't fix it. After a reboot I find that X-windows and KDM/KDE try to start and then fall over. Back to the black screen and command line. I use Alpine for mail and so for me it's not too bad. However, the usual things like OpenOffice.org and Inkscape are no longer accessible.
Can anyone out there suggest what could be wrong and how to fix it ? I've tried the OpenSuSE rescue disk. It just bombs out. Can't start YaST. Can't access and library in /usr/lib64/ since the update which means that no part of the system can start or do anything. I can run smart and update the system with that but even that complains and not being able to access /usr/lib64/. Perhaps a chmod or chown in /usr/lib64 might be of some use ? Below is the output of .xession-errors............................
Maybe some files are missing or bad. I would try: rpm --verify -a | less -S and check the output (the explanation is in "man rpm"). If an rpm has missing or bad files, reinstall that rpm. Also, run "rcrpmconfigcheck", which might list if some rpm has a config file that that didn't get installed or something (like your configuration file being replaced by a new one from the rpm). - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
