RE: [opensuse] Leap 4.2 Log in Problem
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Richard Gesendet: Mo. 16.11.2015 19:16 An: opensuse@opensuse.org Betreff: [opensuse] Leap 4.2 Log in Problem
I have tried to install Leap on my Gigabyte GA-B8M-D3H machine. In the past the only distros I was able to install and use were Windows 8.1 (a lemon), Windows 10 (somewhat better) and recently the latest iteration of Ubuntu - 15.4, 15.10, and their close relatives. I have tried both Tumbleweed and 13.2 without success but neither will install. It seems only those distros with the 4+ kernel will install on my motherboard. I downloaded Leap and got it installed but can get no further than the log-in screen because this cycles -loops. Leap is installed but there
appears to be a gilcth/bug in the log-in screen. I re-installed it several times varying the log-in screen settings with the same results. I have Gooled the problem but Leap is too new for any usable results. I hope this is enough info for some of you gurus to suggest a solution or work-around. Thanks in advanced unclerichard

If you did install 13.2 you did install a 3.7 kernel. If you did install Tumbleweed from the current snapshot, you did install kernel 4.3. If you did have problems with both that indicates that your machine has no problem to install these kernels at all but that there is probably a totally other issue. Gigabyte Mainboards are not really to be called Linux friendly. Sometimes they have hickups. For what is you problem, I do not understand what you say. What is exactly the "login screen" for you? Do you have more than one user, do you have automated login and it blocks while loading plasma? When you press Escape during the loading process, do you see any error message? What graphics card do you run? Intel? Try to start with the boot parameter NOMODESET Does that help? (Do you know how to put boot parameter?). --- Alle Postfächer an einem Ort.

Gigabyte Mainboards are not really to be called Linux friendly.
I always buy Gigabyte motherboards (and always use AMD cpus) and have NEVER found Gigabyte m/boards to be not friendly to Linux distro of any flavour.
Sometimes they have hickups.
Or is more true to say that it is you who has had the hickups (sic)? :-)

Have you, during any of the opensuse installations selected "automatic login"? I don't remember precisely at what point this option comes, but
snip the installer (in Leap or in tumbleweed, or previous versions) has a check box to allow the installed system to boot automatically into the graphical environment. Did you select this option? And if you did select this option, it still fails to display the desktop? Which desktop environment did you select, Gnome, KDE, LXDE, etc.?

During the DVD install that option is actually checked by default, to satisfy Windows refugees, bunny rabbits and the dim. So it would have required manually unsetting. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Correct. Also set by default is to use the same password as user for root.

Hi Gustav, I have never, ever, used the 'automatic login' option for security reasons. Nor do I use the same password for root as the one I use to login. As far as which DE I use, I always use KDE. (I played around with Gnome many years ago, and then with that whatever in Ubuntu, but found that KDE had no peers.)

Maybe this is a long shot, but perhaps it is a video/display problem. My experience with Leap is that it has had more problems in this area than other versions of OS in a number of years. Have you tried editing the grub entry (at boot time) and adding "nomodeset" to the kernel line?
