Hi, I am new to OpenSUSE, but have come from a different Linux Distro. Twice now I have tried installing OpenSuse 12.1 on a clean partition (formatted as part of install, containing both / and /home) Everything goes well, I install nvidia propriety driver and firmware for tv card which kaffine operates well. I do a full update through yast. I am using KDE.
The problem happens when I install the Lamp-server packages/patten.
This seems to go OK, but the services are not turned, so I go through Yast and activate apache2 and mySql. I can now browse web pages at 127.0.0.1, including a sample php page I created. The problem happens when I next reboot. When I log on I get a dialog box saying:
"Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file of directory"
I can log on, but functionality is limited, eg network, internet or dvb card.
Google suggests I should edit my /etc/rc.conf file, but my system does not have one (I don't think it is part of OpenSuse 12.1)
I have had a look through the documentation etc and cannot find anything to help me. Can someone suggest what I should do to restore my system?
~If I have failed in finding some direction on this problem, can you please point me at the article and tell me how my search skills failed!
Hugh,
Do yourself a big favor and change init systems from systemd to sysvinit.
I don't recall the exact command to do this but its in the 12.1 release notes.
Fyi: systemd is new to opensuse in 12.1. It seems okay for a basic desktop, but not for a newbie running a lamp server.

Per the release notes: == Booting with systemd or sysvinit By default, openSUSE now boots using systemd. In case of trouble, you can switch back to the old way using sysvinit by pressing the F5 key on the boot. If you want to switch to sysvinit permanently, install the sysvinit-init package. To switch back to systemd, reinstall the systemd-sysvinit package. == Greg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
