On Feb. 15, I wrote that I could not reboot a computer that had been updated from v13.2 to v42.2. After communincations, it appeared that I had made a mistake. Now I am not sure I had, because I still have a problem. I successfully got things working on the original computer (#1), not quite sure how. I have a second one (#2) with nearly identical hardware, and did the same upgrade to it. But the console X display does not come up after a reboot. There is a quick flash of a line of 'login', then a blank screen except for a dash on the top line. I can log into #2 from #1 and even get a display (e.g. yast2) on #1. I examined the Xorg.0.log files side-by-side. They are very similar most of the way, but diverge when dealing with KB and mouse lines (different hardware). However, the .xsession-errors-:0 file on #2 has the lines The X11 connection broke: I/O error (code 1) XIO: fatal IO error 17 (File exists) on X server ":0" after 24 requests (24 known processed) with 0 events remaining. The /etc/X11 directories are identical on the two computers. Specs: Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-970A-D3 (v1.1) Bios: Award F7 Graphics card: nVidia GT218 [GeForce 8400 GS, Rev.3] Driver: nouveau, with drm Monitors: Viewsonic VA2431 (#1) and VX2450 (#2), in 1920x1080 mode (from auto mode) I need both computers for students.
