Hi everyone, I installed opensuse tumbleweed yesterday but when log out it appear black window (checking service maybe) and nothing happen and when i check /var/log/gdm the folder is empty what should i do it really painful to reboot the pc every time
please help me
thank you in advance
Switch to “lightdm”. You might need to install it first.
Hi
Press ctrl+alt+F2, login as root user then restart the X server;
init 3
init 5 && exit
Press ctrl+alt+F7 (or maybe F8) and gdm will restart…
will i already installed lightdm but when i type
sudo systemctl enable lightdm
it will give me: Failed to execute operation: No such file or directory
after init 5 && exit it take me back to the session without gdm
In openSUSE, all display managers are started by the generic display-manager.service, which should be enabled already anyway.
There is no explicit lightdm.service.
Just set the display manager you want in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, in this case change the already existing line to:
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm"
Hi After pressing ctrl+alt+F7, no mouse cursor? Hmm, just tested here with Tumbleweed, with and without autologin running, worked either way… Tumbleweed all up to date? Follow wolfi323’s info for lightdm then…
it work after changing account type from standard to administrator
thanks for you guys
and forgive me if i disturb you
Do you mean root? that is what the administrator account is called in Linux And yes you must be root to make system changes
