I have been tearing my (remaining) hair out over a GNOME problem, but it is finally resolved. I have two Sun Ultra-20s both running openSUSE 13.1 and both having nvidia graphics cards. On one of them, I was able to use either KDE or GNOME. On the other, KDE worked just fine, but trying to login under GNOME would give the error "Oh no! Something has gone wrong." [logout] I have been trying all kinds of things, including removing and reinstalling all of the pieces of GNOME that I could find. Nothing helped. I had searched all over the internet and found lots of other folks who had seen that screen, but nothing that was suggested helped. Until I read this http://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/464950-Gnome-3-fails-to-start?s=1f5aa1141451417d51fa3cf13f4f6394&highlight=gnome and saw a reference to GNOME needing mutter. I checked the machine on which GNOME worked, and it had mutter installed. The machine on which GNOME failed did not have mutter, so I tried installing it. GNOME now works!!! I would likely never have found that on my own. None of the error messages said anything at all about GNOME needing mutter, but apparently it does. I hope this will be helpful to someone else trying to solve the same problem... -- JY -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
