[opensuse] opensuse 10.3 updates breaking login to kde
Hi, Over the last couple of days I have applied the opensuse 10.3 updates as notified by zypper. Three of theses updates have broken my login to KDE. I was still able to login via a console screen. These are the updates that caused the first problem. After the updates were applied, when I tried to log into KDE, the screen went black and then returned to the login screen. libopenssl-devel 4476-0 libopenssl-devel 4560-0 The .xsession-errors file indicated an openssl version problem. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of that file now. The fix to this problem was to reinstall the original openssl packages from the opensuse 10.3 dvd from the console using the following command. rpm --oldpackage -Uvh openssl-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm openssl-certs-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl-devel-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm The second problem occurred when I installed the following x11-server update. I was unable to move my mouse pointer or enter text into the password field. I could still login via the text console. This was the offending patch xorg-x11-server 4595-0 The fix to this problem was to reinstall the original x11-server package from the opensuse 10.3 dvd from the console using the following command. rpm --oldpackage -Uvh xorg-x11-server-7.2-143.i586.rpm I have been googling the problem but can't find any mention of this problem I'm not sure if I have a problem with my install or if this is a known issue. Is this the right place to be posting this issue? Thanks. Cheers, Barrie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

rpm --oldpackage -Uvh openssl-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm openssl-certs-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl-devel-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm
This happens if you have the FACTORY repository added. The security patch for openssl will pull in the _FACTORY_ openssl version instead of the of the _SECURITY_ update version. While the provides/requirements all fit, the FACTORY version is binary incompatible.
The second problem occurred when I installed the following x11-server update. I was unable to move my mouse pointer or enter text into the password field. I could still login via the text console.
This was the offending patch
xorg-x11-server 4595-0
Now this should work, please open a bugreport.

I will fix this one first.
The second problem occurred when I installed the following x11-server update. I was unable to move my mouse pointer or enter text into the password field. I could still login via the text console.

I will wait until I fix the first problem and see if the second one still exists. If it is still a problem, I'll submit a bug report. I will post an update on Saturday. Again, thanks for your help.

Thanks to Marcus Meissner, who pointed me in the right direction to fix this problem. Problem: 1. Opensuse updates caused login to KDE to break. Openssl updates caused apparent password failure Updates in question were libopenssl-devel 4476-0 libopenssl-devel 4560-0 2. X11 server update froze the mouse pointer and I wasn't able to enter a password. (This happened a few days after problem 1) Updates in question were xorg-x11-server 4595-0 Solution: 1. To enable me to login to KDE, * I used ctrl-alt-f1to get me to a console * Log in as root * Mount the opensuse 10.3 dvd mount /dev/sr1 /mnt * Change directory to /mnt/suse/i586 * Run the following command rpm --oldpackage -Uvh openssl-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl0_9_8-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm openssl-certs-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm libopenssl-devel-0.9.8e-45.i586.rpm 2. Same steps as step 1, but use the following rpm command. rpm --oldpackage -Uvh xorg-x11-server-7.2-143.i586.rpm 3. Once I was able to log in to KDE * I disabled the FACTORY repositories * Restarted the opensuse updater * Installed all the updates with opensuse updater * Logged out, logged back in, no problems. Rebooted and logged back in to be sure. The root cause of the problem, operator error. Me. :-( Cheers, Barrie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
