Greetings, my opensuse 13.1 is running on a hp zt300, it was going great but, after a cople of weeks it stopped booting and it was after I shut it down with libre office and okular opened. It runs now at default recovery mode.
The screen it shows on regular boot is a center square at the center of the screen full of squares with colors.
Has anyone had this symptom?
I’m a completly new user with linux, so my apologies to ho is going to help.

When I Googled this machine, it seems old. And the spec I saw was 512MB RAM
Is that correct?
ATI Radeon graphics?
What Desktop did you install? KDE, Gnome, other…?
Hi, I installed kde, gnome was to slow. Cpu is an intel pentium 1.7 ghz.
2 gb ram
Ati radeon 9200
Aprecciate your help.

Technically, if you close the system with apps open, it’s not a good idea. But it doesn’t usually result in anything as you describe or otherwise detrimental.
I guess if you can login and then post the result of this:
zypper lr -d
You could also try creating a new user - You do that via Yast > security and users > user and group management
Try logging in with the new user and report the results
hi, zypper lr

don’t know what it means.
Appreciate your attention
it seems I did not place the correct command on the previous post related to zypper.
the comand you asked me was zypper lr -d , and it answers as follows:

I appolgise.
Please use code tags for computer output to keep the board from reformatting it. It is the # in the editor menu
Your repos look fine
The feedback massage - looks standard stuff though I can’t really explain it’s detail for you
Please try logging in with IceWM
You need auto login off
And you select the option at the login screen.
I don’t understand this one, could you explain what is the editor menu?
Ice Works, as well as default recovery, and there is a change in symptoms, the OS loads opensuse in the auto suggestion, it shows the black screen with the chameleon, then it changes to black with the mouse arrow on screen, the mouse arrow disappears and no more OS until I do ctrl alt backspace it goes to the login menu I do password it goes black again, If I do ctrl alt backspace it goes to login menu, if I change the settings let’s say to Ice it goes in.
I can work fine in the default recovery, but if he sleeps the square with the color squares appears again. It seems the OS is there it makes some sounds, but no good. I have to use the power button.
Namaste

When editing your post use the # to set code blocks paste the output between them.
or add [xxxx] and [/xxxx] around the code where xxxx is the word code
It stops the reformatting of the text and makes it easier for others to help you
[xxxx]
Ok.
Namaste
But it all worked OK for a while immediately after installation?
[xxxx]
It installed, done the first updades, mesa was fine, not great, but I was happy.
It worked great, the laptop in compare with win xp was flying, some issues with the radeon 9200 that made me reinstall everything twice, for not understanding the drivers install and then I just stop messing with it and surrender to the mesa driver.
There is something else that I did not share with you the swap memory is I belive covering a bad block on the hd, I don’t know if that had an effect on the laptop functioning. but then again, I’m not really a person that understands pc’s.
Besides miner bugs, I just love it, and I really have to use something that’s not a windows, they are messing up with my software as I do research not wished by the powers that be.
Well, u guys are great! that’s the point.
Guys, I’m just going to install it again, do the 1st updates and no more. and inprove my security skills in this OS.
Grateful for your attention.
Namaste
All good practice IMO
The more the better
[XXXX]
IMO what is it?
And is there a way to view bad block and isolate them?
