Hi there. I am new to openSUSE. I ve been using Kubuntu on my laptop for several years and CentOS in many servers for many years too. Since Kubuntu and KDE are sort of 2nd class citizens for Ubuntu I decided to move on to openSUSE.
I did a new install in my HP DV6646us laptop, which was running Kubuntu 9.04 perfectly for 2 yrs. No problems on the install. I downloaded the 11.4 DVD, checked md5 on download and after burning the dvd, both ok.
So, when installed finished and rebooted, i got a TTY login with crappy video.
I googled and found that i could add ‘nomodeset’ to the GRUB line, which sort of fixed the video. But when I try startkde I get this errors:
$ startkde

------------------------------
xinit failed. /usr/bin/Xorg is not set uid, maybe thats the reason?
If so either use a display manager or adjust /etc/permissions.local
xauth: error while loading shared libraries: libXau.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Theres no /usr/bin/Xorg file!
So i cannot do Xorg -configure either, as I read in the NVidia drivers Sticky.
I managed to enable nvidia repos with yast and do a software update w/o problems.
My hardware specs:
HP Pavilion DV6646us: AMD 1.9 GHz Turion 64 X2 / 2Gb RAM / 160Gb HDD / NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M / 15.4" WXGA / BroadCom BCM4311 wireless / Built-in webcam.
If i start in failsafe mode, its the same thing.
Thanks for your help and tips!!
