OpenSUSE Install :: System Boots But Hangs At Desktop

Jul 18, 2010

I upgraded OpenSUSE 11.2 to 11.3 today using Zyyper on my laptop. Everything went fine with no errors whatsoever. At the end, a message was displayed at the terminal asking me if I want to see the notifications. I pressed "Y" and the system hanged there and then. I had to do a hard reboot. After reboot the system booted fine but hanged at the desktop with no response from the keyboard, mouse, touchpad, etc. The situation's same after many reboots. System boots fine but hangs at the desktop. Screen resolution changed to 800x600.Only power button works! I use it to log off and then do a reboot.

OpenSUSE Install :: Desktop Setup Strategy / What Works Best?

Sep 8, 2010

Having just executed a 11.2 to 11.3 upgrade (KDE), in which I preserved /home from 11.2 to preserve my data and settings, I now wonder if there is a "Best Practice" on how to setup the environment, anticipating future upgrades.Currently, for applications I frequently use and wish to launch from the desktop, I open /usr/share/applications (using Dolphin) and drag the application to my Desktop Folder, choosing the "Copy To:" option.After the recent update, my Desktop Folder files remain those from 11.2 or earlier.It seems now a better practice would be to populate the Desktop Folder with links back to /usr/share/ applications, so that changes would be implemented the the link to a newer file. That would be easily implemented by choosing the "Link To:" option when dragging.

OpenSUSE Install :: Booting After 11.3 Install - Hangs At A Blank Screen ?

Jun 8, 2011

I recently tried to upgrade my openSuSe 11.1 system using the instructions at:

SDB:System upgrade - openSUSE

I successfully got the system to 11.2, but the upgrade from 11.2->11.3 went awry. The installation froze during the update, and I had to start it over. The first issue I had to deal with was the fact that rpm had been upgraded and zypper hadn't, so zypper wouldn't function because older rpm files that it would search for had been deleted. After rolling back rpm to a previous version, I managed to complete the upgrade to 11.3 and everything looked good. However, when I rebooted the system, it hangs at a blank screen. More precisely, the system seems to get through all of the BIOS stuff and then hang while loading the OS (I assume). Although I've worked on Windows boxes for a long time, I'm a complete novice at OS installations/upgrades for Linux systems, so I'm not even quite sure where to begin to troubleshoot this. Ideally, I'd like to be able to fix the installation on the system to save the data on the hard drives, but I realize this might not be possible. My first thought was to use a recovery tool that I'd seen on some Linux installation CDs, but I see that for openSuSe 11.3 and on that utility has been dropped. I can, however, use the disk to get to the "Rescue" command prompt, so maybe there's something I can do from there?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 Net Install Works But Internet Connection Test Fails?

Jun 17, 2011

I just installed 11.4 via the net install cd. In the configuration step, the internet connection test fails. Why would this happen if I just installed opensuse using the internet? It looks to me as if opensuse can already figure out how to use my network card. I went ahead and skipped the test, but it still doesn't make any sense to me. Let's see if internet works once I'm logged in...

Ubuntu Networking :: WiFi Adapter Works With Desktop - New Alternate Install Can't Find It

Mar 27, 2011

I have a USB WiFi adapter that my Ubuntu desktop install (10.10) automatically detects, and it works great. I just used the alternate installer to set up an old box as a server, and it doesn't install the driver for the adapter. lsusb finds the adapter, but I don't get a wlan* listed in /dev/. how I can determine what module(s) are used to run this adapter on the desktop so I can load them on the older box? Or is there some package I should install from the CD to help auto-detect the adapter?

OpenSUSE Install :: Update Hangs At 48% (64 Bit)

Feb 5, 2010

I recently downloaded 11.2 to a flash drive and while updating it from online the updates hangs at 48% and the last line reads:

Installing ./rpm/x86_64/libexpat1-32bit-2.0.1-92.4.1.x86_64.rpm: "XML Parser Toolkit"

This fist loading bar is at 100% and total is at 48%.

Is there a way to safely exit this program it appears to be frozen.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 Hangs During Boot?

Feb 16, 2011

I've looked around the threads and can't find this exact problem. I'm on a Compaq Presario F700 running openSUSE 11.3. During boot it hangs in three different places, all of which I can clear up by clicking the mouse buttons or moving my finger on the pad.

The first place it hangs is after: doing fast boot ^[^[^[creating device nodes with udev

The second place is INIT version 2.88 booting

The third place is copying static /dev content.

Like I said, I can get through all three and everything else works great, I just hate having to watch my machine boot to catch these.

OpenSUSE Install :: Reboot Hangs At Many Points?

Jul 1, 2009

Have openSUSE 11.1 and (AFAIK) KDE 4 on an older notebook; worked OK for weeks, then booting became a problem and the OS seemed to go to sleep between keystrokes: now the cursor stops blinking, the clock stops running, and nothing happens after clicking a radio button until the mouse moves. Am now 25 minutes into a reboot, hung at "Unmounting file systems" but it also hung for a while when changing run levels. Is this related to the stability problems with 11.1 I've read about? Possibly KDE? Where would I adjust a config to use kde 3.5 rather than 4?

OpenSUSE Install :: Trying Internet Installs But Hangs?

I'm trying to install opensuse using the internet install feature. After the loading linux kernel screen, I see a black screen with a lot of commands/steps. It keeps hanging at the line: [2.202543] [<c0804db73>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10And at the same time, caps-lock and scroll lock lights on my keyboard are blinking. What does this mean? what i see is this:

OpenSUSE Install :: HP Mini 110 Hangs On Boot

Mar 10, 2010

Here's my problem:

New HP Mini 110. Atom N270. 2Gb RAM. 160Gb HDD

I've installed OpenSUSE 11.2 Gnome Live from a USB stick. The installation worked well, but after the first reboot, the graphical loader just hangs with the progress bar having moved only a couple of pixels. Only way to recover is to power-off - CTRL+ALT+DEL does nothing.

When I press 'Esc' on boot, to display the boot messages, I see the boot hangs at the following point:

"Loading drivers, configuring devices:"

trying again, this time adding the boot option "acpi=off" as recommended in another thread, gets me a little further, but the boot now fails at the following point:

"Set System Time to the current Hardware Clock"

Finally, booting in Failsafe mode gets all the way to a text mode login, but this is hardly a long-term work-around.

Has anyone got openSUSE 11.2 working on an HP Mini 110, or at least seen and solved this problem on another system? I can confirm openSUSE 11.2 works fine on my old Acer Aspire One A150, so I assume this is a specific issue on the HP.

OpenSUSE Install :: During Boot Hangs About 4 Min At Udev?

Mar 17, 2010

During the boot process the machine (Fujitsu Celsius M470) hangs about 4 min at udev:loading drivers. After that it continues and I can work with the OpenSuse 11.2 system without problems.I activated the debug log in /etc/udev/udev.confthen I see that it is doing a lot in that time, at the end I see the message:udevadm settle timeout queue contains: a long list of pci/usb entries (no entries in any log for this)

in the logfile I find:udevd-work[1071]: '/sbin/modprobe' (stderr) 'FATAL: Error inserting ipmi_si (/lib/modules/2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop/kernel/drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_si.ko): No such device'there is no ipmi. how can I deactivate the loading of this module?

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 On A Separate Partition - Hangs

Oct 24, 2010

I want to get into the Linux world and trying to install openSuse 11.3 on a separate partition, so I can start getting familiar with it. Installation started and PREPARATION was OK. INSTALLATION WAS OK. While doing Automatic Configuration after a little while the program stops (it hangs). I have to restart the computers by pushing the hdw reset button.

At next reboot, at the partition menu I choose openSUSE option; the program starts and after a while it says that previous installation failed and ask me if I want to retry. I do choose yes, but than again same thing happens - hangs and does not complete automatic configration (which by the way seems to be the last step of the installation). PC is a 2,8GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows OS XPHome and Service PAck3, and now partially loaded openSUSE11.3. OS

OpenSUSE :: Install Gnome Desktop After KDE Install (11.2)

Apr 4, 2010

I installed KDE from a CD. Then decided I wanted to have Gnome has an option. I installed "gnome-desktop" via software manager (as per some other instructions on the forum) but I still have no option to choose Gnome when logging in.

What all do I choose to get the complete Gnome environment? Or is it better (& easier?) to reinstall with a DVD?

OpenSUSE Install :: No Desktop Loading With New 11.4 Install

May 30, 2011

I'm installing 11.4 KDE on an Acer D255 Netbook. (dual core Atom, 1Gb RAM)

The OS runs perfectly on this PC when booting from a thumb drive, but when I install to the HDD I can't get to a GUI desktop.

If I boot "normally" I just get to a CLI with a white background in the upper left 1/4 of a black screen. It appears that it's using init 5, just no desktop. (the installer added boot option vga=0x314, I tried booting both with and without that option, and I tried nomodeset too just for chuckles, no luck.)

If I boot to Failsafe Mode I can get to a GUI desktop (boots to init 3 then I go to init 5 and startx.)

OpenSUSE :: Plasma Hangs After Login On A Fresh Install?

Apr 19, 2011

I installed openSUSE 11.4 today and I have a problem. After login, KDE Plasma hangs for about 30sec and I can't do anything. The keyboard and the mouse are working, but if I click, I don't get any response only after about 30sec.

This is a fresh install, 32bit, I'm using only the Oss, Non-Oss and update repositories and the system is up to date.

I have an nvidia 9500M GS graphics card, first I thought it is a driver bug, but I tried both the stable 260.19.44 and the latest 270.41.03 drivers, and was no difference.

I made an another user to try with a clean kde, but the same happened.

I have nothing in my Autostart directory, and I cleaned also the /etc/xdg/autostart dir, leaving there only the pulseaudio related files.
