I loaded 9.3 up and install went well. I did the on line update part except the Nvidia ones. Rebooted did the you thing for the Nvidia. Rebooted fine. Diddled with a few personal setting such as screen saver and wallpaper. Shutdown and later fired up twice. Then I went to fire up and could only get a grey/blue screen that asks for log on and gives a console only. Its an x screen and does not allow for further options without knowledge on how to use the console a lot more than I do.
There's a bug that gives you the xdm display manager instead of the normal kdm
To solve, do this: log in as user root and run the command 'rcxdm stop'. Then run the command yast.
Then go to System->/etc/sysconfig editor, and then to desktop->display manager->display manager and change the value to kdm.
Finish and quit out of yast and run 'rcxdm start' and you should see your regular login screen again
Thanks Anders! I hit the same bug today, but luckily I paid attention when you explained the fix. Took me about 5 minutes (it took that long because I couldn't figure out how to open a console in xdm) FWIW - it didn't trigger until I installed the updates from YOU... maybe that's where the bug snuck in?
