English Install/Boot/Login
1

I’m running SuSE 11.3 with GNOME. I’ve just enabled the desktop effects, & then it crashed back to the login screen. Now every time I try to login, the screen goes black & crashes back to the login screen again.** I just want to get the desktop effects turned off **& switch it back to standard settings…

actually this setting is done in root user so i must hv to open it…
i tried using FailSafe but after login it doesn’t crash back to login screen bt screen also doesn’t show anything it stays a WHITE high bright Screen…

i just started using linux distributions so please help me by giving solution in detail…
runtime level is 5 at login time i also tried it with 3.

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

This is off the Ubuntu forums but should work on openSUSE as well. At GDM (Login Screen) press Control+Alt+F1 and log in with your username and password. Once you have logged in type this command in and press [ENTER]:

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/session/required_components/windowmanager --type string metacity

This will disable compiz.

Once you have done that type

logout

to logout of the terminal and press Control+Alt+F7 to go back to GDM (Login Screen) and see if you can login.
