Accidentally downgraded python. Can't get gui up now

English Hardware
1

I had a perfectly working Opensuse11.1 install with XBMC and accidentally downgraded python from 2.6 trying to install sopcatqui. Caused a lot of issue, but I resolved most, but I can’t get a gui up locally on the machine

Here is some info
The machine boots into init3
if I init 5 it just the screen flashes and stays dark.
I can access a gui using vnc or NX
I luanch sax2 from that gui(remotely) and I see that my nvidia 6350 is up, but when I hit test is says testing failed. Sax ok : "X configuration: No information

I reinstalled nvidia drivers nvidia-gfxG02-kmp-default from one click and from yast

ran sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia
and got…

From level3 you can login as user, go su, then type:

yast

use this yast interface to roll back/upgrade - whatever

3

I’ve upgraded back to python 2.6 and reloaded all the drivers … Can’t find anything else in yast that helps.

4

Alertately, download and manually install the nvidia drivers in runlevel 3. Perhaps the distro link has some older xorg dependencies.

5

Yes you could try this. Or perhaps first from level 3 as root, run

sax2 -r
6

I downloaded the RPM’s from nvidia and uninstalled the drivers and then installed the rpms and ran this command

sax2 -r -m 0=nvidia

same screen flashes on the local monitor and then a black screen…

sax2 -r produces the same result. I don’t see anything in the logs that helps
