I can immediately log-in here, when kdm appears.
I have sometimes the login fail. I can type, but it crashes and returns to the login screen.
On an irregular basis, I find that my 11.3 system fails to mount a NFS volume from another system. When this happens I have to manually run "/etc/init.d/nfs start". Furthermore, sometimes this also fails and I have to switch to run-level 2 and back to 5 (or 3, I suppose).
All this (my symptoms and those reported by others here) make me wonder if there really is a poor choice of init script dependencies?
Probably. I know of two ways to do NFS. One is to put it in the /etc/fstab So it may be that you get the NFS mount demand before /usr/lib ... ? The other is 'on demand' via the mapper - /etc/auto.net But there a lot of other things that may produce race conditions. I've put all my NFS in /etc/auto.net and its children and nothing accesses any NFS until someone logs in. I realise that isn't always practical; many people will want to share things like /usr/share. -- The art of progress is to preserve order amid change and to preserve change amid order. --Alfred North Whitehead -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
