hi

I just upgraded cairo while trying to get beryl. I don’t know what version I upgraded too or what I had before. So I upgraded cairo using software installer from the main suse 10.2 OSS repo. Then when it was done I tried to open another firefox window and the window opened for a second and then closed. I thought it might of just been firefox so I tried opening gedit. That did the same thing. So I restarted my computer. When I started it back up it looked like it was going to gdm (the mouse was a spinning circle with a black screen) and then it went to tty1 and every few seconds went back to the black screen. It went back like 6 or 7
times before a box came up saying it had tried 6 times and failed in the past 90 seconds. I am writing this on my iPhone because that was my only computer. So I really need it fixed. Oh and I’m running sled 10 SP1.

Any help is appreciated!!

Hi
I guess you haven’t configured rug to enable rollback? You will need to
use yast (ncurses) from the CLI to go back to the original SLE version.

Like I pointed out, you will need to build any versions from the source
rpm unless you can find any 10.1, SLE or SLE SDK versions… :frowning:

I have no idea what you want me to do.

Hi
Do you get to the console (text) login still? If so you can login as
root and run the command;


yast

This will give you a text version which you can get to the software
management screen and re-install the original versions…

Is there any reason why you don’t wish to try SP2?

Is there an option to downgrade in 10.2 with yast? Do it if there an option.

Hi
The OP is running SLED 10 SP1, not openSUSE, but has been trying to use
some 10.2 rpms which appear to have caused some problems…

I’ve solved this. I just reimaged my laptop. Luckily I had mostly everything backed up.
