There is a bug https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=927018 in the latest kernel security patch which prevents a graphical login if you are running nVidia graphics with the proprietary drivers.

Not quite. It prevents reusing nvidia modules that were compiled for earlier kernel releases in 13.2. Just rebuild (or reinstall) drivers under new kernel. Of course as new kernel version with fixes will hopefully be released soon, it makes sense to wait, otherwise modules built under -13 will be incompatible with next update again :)

Thanks for the clarification, Andrei. I hope the fixed kernel versions will be 'announced'?

I'm not sure if it applies to other graphics cards.

It will apply to any kernel module.

They are working on a fix, but for now I am staying with kernel 3.16.7-7 and not upgrading to 3.16.7-13.

Good luck,

Bob
