Hi all,
I just dup'ed my machine today as well and ran into an issue I believe a bunch of users ran into already.
GDM fails to show the greeter with the all famous 'oh no! something has gone wrong' error message.
I could track it down to /dev/nvidiactl: the gdm greeter seems not to have sufficient permissions to access this device, causing the error.
/dev/nvidiactl is created as crw-rw---- root:video; which obviously is not matching the gdm user's permission.
As a quick workaround I just added user 'gdm' to the group 'video', which helped over the problem, but I'm wondering why this would have started to happen now?

PS: No, no bugreport created yet.
in /etc/modprobe.d/50-nvidia.conf change options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=33 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0660
to options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=33 NVreg_DeviceFileMode=0666
Hi But this still doesn't account for the change. I had 11.4 with 3.0.2 and all was fine logging in/out. I've now updated the same system running the same nvidia with the original conf file to gnome-shell 3.2.0 and now I have the 'oh no' screen when trying to login/logout. -- Cheers Malcolm °¿° (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) Kernel 2.6.37.6-0.7-desktop up 15:31, 4 users, load average: 0.09, 0.09, 0.19 GPU GeForce 8600 GTS Silent - Driver Version: 285.05.09 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
