After tumbleweed update x11 is not starting...

English Install/Boot/Login

Hi all,

After a hefty update (2750) packages the system is not loading x11 and seems to hang.

Not very good after hours of updates !

I run tumbleweed 32 bit on an ancient msi netbook connected to an external monitor. The updates sometimes are a nightmare, but until now I was allways able to boot into gui. This time not so !

Studying the x11 log the intel.so driver failed to load with an unknown symbol error!

I’m an it guy so I can figure this out, but how are ordinary peeps supposed to tacle this…

I reverted to an earlier snapshot as the system had become totally FUbar and updated the xfce packages through yast. It now seems to have returned to a stable state. Will hold off updating the 2500 packages until I feel more confident. Looks like the update is updating the x11 drivers, but they don’t load WTF !

Any other people here having trouble after installing the TW updates ?

Hi
A known issue (as a Tumbleweed user, consider following the Factory mailing list?) https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/DIOIH466X2W3YMKLK3DQ2S535HZO5JPH/ and https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1197994

Xorg works OK on 32bit Intel IGP here:

Have you tried booting any prior kernels, or using modesetting DIX instead of intel DDX?

Is running fine now with latest kernel and driver intel.so from feb2022…,:slight_smile:

Holding off update 2500 packages for now ! >:(
