[opensuse] Cannot log into Gnome desktop after updates
Cannot log into Gnome desktop after updates Hello, I'm experiencing this issue on two different computers after running updates this weekend. I click on my username, enter my password, click the 'sign in' button, and then nothing happens. I've tried clearing the contents of /tmp/, clearing /home/username/.caches and /home/username/.config... I've even backed up my home directory, deleted my user account, and then created my user account fresh... nothing seems to make a difference. These two machines have NVidia graphics cards, one a GT-240, and the other a GTX-550TI. I'm not sure where to go from here and help would be appreciated.

So you have no trouble logging in as root? -- After all is said and done, more is said than done. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
I can log into Gnome desktop as root... Do I need to check that my non-root user is in the 'video' group? -----Original Message----- From: John Andersen [mailto:jsamyth@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 11:49 AM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Cannot log into Gnome desktop after updates On 09/15/2015 11:40 AM, Adam Sailer wrote:

Two more observations: On one computer, it seems I can hit 'cancel' and then re-attempt login. Once I am logged in, I've launched the disk utility, clicked the 'play' button to mount a partition from another drive, at which point I am prompted for the 'administrator' password. Upon supplying the root password for the mounting operation, it just hangs and doesn't do anything until I hit the 'cancel' button. On the other afflicted computer, cancelling and re-attempting login did not work. -----Original Message----- From: John Andersen [mailto:jsamyth@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 2015 11:49 AM To: opensuse@opensuse.org Subject: Re: [opensuse] Cannot log into Gnome desktop after updates On 09/15/2015 11:40 AM, Adam Sailer wrote:
