I have not been able to find hints about how to approach the apparent failure of the reinstallation, and I can add only the following few observations to what I have already reported:
1) After running zypper ps, the report was that there were no unstarted packages. Running zypper ve reported that there are no unresolved dependencies.
2) Booting the system to runlevel 5 doesn't end exactly as I reported earlier. I observed that there is near the end an interval of a few seconds when the mouse cursor is not frozen, but seems to behave normally, then freezes and jumps to the center of the screen and freezes. The progress gauge does not reach the end position and stop, but freezes a little sooner than it did the first time. The Desktop Folder and Panel never come up as they did the first time.
3) FWIW, the startup log reports that the following actions failed: Starting VirtualBox kernel modules Starting Postfix Starting rng-tools
If any of this suggests a diagnostic approach to anyone, I'd like to know what.it is, because I have nothing. In the absence of any other suggestion, I think I have to abandon the installation and install 11.3 elsewhere on the HD, then try to fetch data to it from this one.
Did you try removing the .kde4 and .kde directories before logging on. Yes you will lose any setup you have but you are going to lose that anyway with a fresh install. Go to runlevel 3 and login as your user and mv .kde4 .kde4.old && mv .kde .kde.old Go back to runlevel 5 and try to login again. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
