ive installed opensuse and everything went well, after a bit of looking around i went to restart and it only loads up into safe mode even if i select normal mode if i restart the pc it does the same thing again
You need to give us more detail. When you say it starts in safe mode( you mean failsafe) - Do you mean it boots to a desktop.
And that normal/Default boot doesn’t (So what actually happens, do you get a CLI login
Tell us too about what graphics card/device you have
Hi,it goes into fail safe mode where it asks for a login and password it dosnt go into the normal desktop screen even when u select it the video card is nvidia geforce 7300 gt
We are going to try forcing video to vesa display. Follow the directions below and we’ll go from there:
Pause the boot by moving the down arrow, then back up to the default boot. But now press backspace, it should delete any text where you can see VGA=
Remove all text and now type just the number:
3
and hit enter
at the login type your user name and then password
now type:
su
then the root password
now type this:
sax2 -r -m 0=vesa
(N.B. the 0 is a zero not a letter)
now reboot
if you don’t get a gui login
login as user and try this at the cli
startx
anymore detail im a bit of novice
Booting from cold.
At the screen that comes up ‘Green’ with options, it runs on a timer. Stop the timer by moving the down arrow. Then move back to the default and press backspace - You should see it delete some text. When it’s all gone, just type: 3
Now follow the earlier instructions from that point
thanks seems to be working fine now
OK
Remember that info in case the nvidia driver install does not go too well:
NVIDIA - openSUSE
there is a oneclick there, though I prefer to add the repo’s manually
