[opensuse] Recent updates trouble
Hi, Today I have installed new updates (suse updates, kde 4.2 factory, packman) with Smart and run into troubles. 1) X refused to start with message complaining could not open or move log file "/var/log/x..org.xxx". Strangely enough, I can start X as root, but not as normal user. sax2 runs, configures, and tests are OK. I have reinstalled nvidia driver - problem still the same. 2) netowrk fails to start properly on the system startup. Everything was fine before. "rcnetwork status" gives message "dead". However, I can start it succesfully with "rcnetwork start" These are the first artefacts. May be something else will appear later. Kernel WAS NOT updated this time. Unfortunately, I did not remember which exactly packages were updated by Smart, but list was rather long. Some kde 4.2 pacjages had to be installed manually becuase of file conflict with KDE 3.5, but this never caused any problem before. Before I had run update 2 or 3 weeks ago, everything was OK. Looks like some change of system files, permissions, or whatever else. Anyone have experienced the same problems? May be some broken/buggy RPM ?

Did your X server lose its suid bit ofr some reason? ls -lH /usr/bin/X should say -rws--x--x 1 root root 1783544 2009-02-27 15:17 /usr/bin/X If it doesn't, you need to review your security settings

Any error messages related to the network in /var/log/boot.msg ?

Hi, Anders, Thanks for so qiock help! 1) These are only suspicious messages in boot.log. Strange, "rcnetwork start" works after, and it does not complain about driver anymore. <6>8139cp: 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver v1.3 (Mar 22, 2004) <3>8139cp 0000:05:00.0: This (id 10ec:8139 rev 10) is not an 8139C+ compatible chip <3>8139cp 0000:05:00.0: Try the "8139too" driver instead. <6>r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded <6>vendor=8086 device=294a <6>r8169 0000:04:00.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 <7>r8169 0000:04:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 <6>eth0: RTL8168b/8111b at 0xffffc20000652000, 00:1a:4d:48:75:20, XID 38000000 IRQ 4347 2) I cannot "ls -lH /usr/bin/X" becuase I have repaired X.org. Reinstalled it from DVD, downgraded MESA and reinstalled nvidia driver. Really do not like it because I am still not aware what was a source of problem. 3) Found another problem - all vmware player services are dead for now.
Today I have installed new updates (suse updates, kde 4.2 factory, packman) with Smart and run into troubles.
1) X refused to start with message complaining could not open or move log file "/var/log/x..org.xxx". Strangely enough, I can start X as root, but not as normal user. sax2 runs, configures, and tests are OK. I have reinstalled nvidia driver - problem still the same.

ls -lH /usr/bin/X
should say
-rws--x--x 1 root root 1783544 2009-02-27 15:17 /usr/bin/X
If it doesn't, you need to review your security settings
2) netowrk fails to start properly on the system startup. Everything was fine before. "rcnetwork status" gives message "dead". However, I can start it succesfully with "rcnetwork start"

It's happened more than once......same results.....NO desktop, no GUI login. Most often, it's been with a system using nVidia, but can and will happen with other video.......but not as often.

If you have updated NetworkManager from the openSuSE Build Service KDE:Backports repo, uninstall it and install the one from the update repository. The NetworkManager in KDE:Backports for x86_64 is incompatible with the latest dbus-1 and ConsoleKit updates :-( https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487598 -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
