I have just update from 11.1 to 11.2 and after reboot system hangs when arrives to the screen where all users logins are showed.
I run the installation again in repair mode. Everything correct.
Started system again in Level 3, login as one of the users and run startx. It starts the desktop but no keyboard or mouse is working.
Started system again in level 3, login as root, started gdm and same results. It arrives to the login screen for the different users and keyboard and mouse does not work. System seems to be running as clock in the right down works.
Started system again in Level 3, login as root, run SaX2 and same results: no keyboard no mouse.
I am running gnome desktop with last image downloaded openSUSE-11.2-DVD-i586.iso.
I’ve seen 2 things that may cause this in iRC when helping people;
#1:
Make sure **xorg-x11-driver-input **package is installed.
If that does not help;
#2:
Boot to init 3, login as root and run; sax2 -r -a
Edit xorg.conf; nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Find ServerLayout and add;
Option “AllowEmptyInput” “false”
Naturally if you don’t have nano installed, install it with zypper.
Your network issue is most likely the same as I saw with one upgraded box, the eth0 device was renamed eth1, you can configure your network from YAST Network Devices by removing the old eth0 and configuring eth1. If this helps, I can give you a few pointers how to rename it back to eth0.
I reconfigured the network to eth0, dhcp and started to work again. I did it with Yast. The problem was that there were two controllers for the same network device. Erased old one and renamed new one to eth0.
I entered and yast and disabled the DVD as repositorie.
I did again
sudo zypper ref
sudo zypper lu
sudo zypper up
and updated the system though the website.
#1:
Make sure xorg-x11-driver-input package is installed.
It was installed already so went to step 2
#2:
Boot to init 3, login as root and run;
sax2 -r -a
Edit xorg.conf;
nano -w /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Find ServerLayout and add;
Option “AllowEmptyInput” “false”
Your last suggestion worked fine and X gui interfaces works fine now with keyboard and mouse.
There is another option that says in xorg.conf that mouse and keyboard are disabled if Option AutoAddDevices is not set to off in the server flags section. I also tried this and works fine also to me.
I did have this problem also.
The problem was that the default startup-option was still the OpenSuse 11.1-kernel and not the 11.2-kernel.
Both upgrades I did (from 11.1 to 11.2 ), had this problem.
So the solution is, choose the right kernel on the startup-screen.
After the GUI has started, change the default bootloader-configuration with Yast and delete the 11.1-options.
This seems to be an error in the installation-process.
I hope they will fix it in the next version.
