Hi Again!

If I go to tty1, login with root and switch to init 3, wait 30 secs and switch again to init 5, the tty7 start fine, and i can use the desktop :slight_smile:

But, try rebooting and the error continue whitout changes…

Did this start after updating or installing software?
What is the video card, did you install any drivers?

Hi Again!

Now my notebook continue with this problem… but not occur all time.

Sometime boot ok, only a few more slowsly that in the past, appear the pointer (arrow) with black screen 5 or 10 seconds, and appear my desktop…

But other times, freeze with black screen and wait pointer (circle) and I need go to tty1, and put:
sudo /sbin/init 3
sudo /sbin/init 5

Any know about this problem?

I have a similar problem and I have created https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=791091 for investigation.
Could you please share your gdm logs there?

P.S. Currently I use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace+Backspace as workaround
