failed to load graphical workspace after upgrading from 12.1 to 12.2

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

i upgrade my os from 12.1 (with gnome desktop) to 12.2 with this command:

zypper dup

after upgrade, when i restarted computer and tried to load openSuse 12.2 i saw a graphical openSuse loader (opensuse logo + some shiny things around) and then after load, i saw some texts that says something like this:


loading something                              [OK]
loading something                              [OK]
loading something                              [OK]
loading something                              [OK]
loading something                              [Failed]
loading something                              [OK]
loading something                              [Failed]
loading something                              [OK]
...

and so on.
when checking has finished, i saw shell login manager that required my username and password (from shell) instead of showing gdm or kdm to login in gnome or kde and graphical sessions.
i just can use commands now

please help me to resolve it.
thanks in advance.

I get that too, if you haven’t noticed any other issues it is probably normal. Perhaps system is just report a service that is not starting for some reason. It might not even be a problem. Knowing the names of the services would help.

As would knowing something about the hardware in use - in particular, the
graphics card and driver…

That still isn’t telling us what video hardware you’re using or what
driver you’ve installed. Those are /critical/ pieces of information that
are necessary to diagnosing this issue.

It would also be useful to know how you installed the driver, if you
installed a proprietary driver.

Further to Jim’s comments, all that information does is reinforce the point in your thread title: “failed to load graphical workspace”.

In addition to describing your hardware, provide your complete xorg log (use suse paste and provide a link: SUSE Paste)

#7

And even further, did you add all required 12.2 repositories prior to zypper dup?

#8

To show the hardware and driver in use,

su -
lspci -nnk

Rather “remove”. The less the better.

thank you,but i changed my kernel configurations and then downgrade to 12.1,
so i think my computer has been crashed, even i can’t login into terminal (module load failed error) :stuck_out_tongue:
i’m going to reinstall :frowning:
thank you all.

Yep, that happens when the repos are wrong and you get old and new lib versions mixed up. Ya know, double check next time. :wink:

Ah, ok, remove and add then :smiley:
