[opensuse] runlevel 5 inifinite loop
One of my machines enters an infinite loop when going to runlevel 5 (the NVIDIA logo appears, then disappears, then appears...). Issuing "startx" from runlevel 3 works just fine, so it's not the actual X configuration (and it worked find until the last reboot). What might be wrong? openSUSE 10.2, NVIDIA proprietary driver build 9631. -- Glenn Holmer (Q-Link: ShadowM) http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/c64.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try a 3D app. and if X crashes then rebuild the nvidia driver, don't ask me why, but it worked here. Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had that happen too. Just got to runlevel 3 and reinstall compile and install the NVIDIA drivers as you did when you installed them and it will correct. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Installed the "legacy" 7184 driver and now it works fine. <shrug> No idea why is stopped working. Cosmic rays, no doubt. -- Glenn Holmer (Q-Link: ShadowM) http://www.lyonlabs.org/commodore/c64.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Start by looking in /var/log/Xorg.N.log (where N is 0, 1, 2, etc., depending on how many concurrent sessions you've started) and / or /var/log/gdm/* for indications of what's going wrong.
