[opensuse] System not starting!
Hi everyone! I have a serious problem...Since yesterday my system hangs up will start up and does not enter... Actually booting works and i can also see the start screen, but not the screen when the modules and kde is loaded. This is even the same problem with the recovery mode. I took a look inside zypper log if something has been changed - via a life usb system- but nothing which should concern the system. I also took a look at /var/log/messages but also there seems to be no entry with regard to the problem. What might be the problem is that i was trying to get a small script working which should sync some folders, i placed this in /etc/init.d and made it executeable and made symbolic links to this script in rc0.d and rc6.d. That is all. I already deleted the files, but still the same problem... my system hangs up at the point directly after the server directory 389 is reached and is marked with the green OK in the startup screen...Unfortunately I also do not know more...

Please describe 'system' ~ architecture, desktop environment, versions and any special graphics card (nVidia, etc.) or other relevant hardware (e.g. RAID)

I'm interpreting this to mean the usual graphical log-in greeter does not appear. Is this correct? Please confirm you're able to log into a console.

If it's really a small script (only several lines long,) share it here (obfuscate any sensitive details) and please explain, briefly but precisely, what you intend the script to do.

Why do you keep secret your openSUSE version? What about desktop used? Does it boot in text mode?

Pray, how would that work? In current openSUSE, those directories are not used. It is systemd all over, not systemv. And in previous versions of openSUSE, you were NOT to write anything in the rc*d directories. There was a documented procedure to do that, and unless followed, things failed. That is all. I already deleted the files, but still
the same problem...

Well, no idea what "server directory 389" can be. I don't know any directory of that name. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)

Not quite yet. Still many init-scripts in /etc/init.d. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (14.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Absolutely. But creating the symlinks by hand /should/ not work. Systemv in openSUSE used a system similar to makefiles to know what to start and when, and the symlinks were by default ignored (you had to change something in configuration). You had to create the start up scripts following a certain template, then insert them with the appropriate tool for this. This was very well documented. If you ignored those steps, problems arose. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
Okay thanks! I did not know about this just read it in the opensuse forum, that this should work, because i had already tried to implement into the kde-logout process, but it did not execute, when i put it into ~/.kde4/shutdown… But is it likely that this harmed my system that much? How should I repair it? Thanks! Gesendet: Mittwoch, 23. April 2014 um 12:39 Uhr Von: "Carlos E.

For starters, remove that script and the links. Use a live if you can not access otherwise. Then, try to start to runlevel 3. And disable the splash screen by pressing "ESC" early enough, so that you can see the boot messages. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 13.1 x86_64 "Bottle" at Telcontar)
