I installed Leap 42.1 from downloaded iso on usb. Went with all the default choices except I selected Gnome. It seemed to be successful, but on login I get "Oh no! Something has gone wrong… " with button to logout and try again. When I click the button, it comes back in a few seconds with a similar message but no button – reboot only way out. I went back to the bootloader and tried the update choice, and it updated three packages, but then when I go to login everything is the same as the first time.
Any ideas on what I could try to get things going here? I’ve looked through posts where others have received these error messages, but I can’t find anyone in the same situation who has gotten any answers.
Video card??? Gnome needs openGL and if the system has to drop back to fallback drivers it may not have it. Try a different desktop from the login screen.then maybe install the driver for your card. If you tell us the card more detailed instruction can be provided
My pc is an acer with Integrated Intel GMA X4500HD graphics.
The error message kicks in before I get to a login screen, so I’ll try reinstalling opensuse choosing KDE rather than Gnome to see if I can get in then track down video drivers. Please let me know if you can suggest anything else.
If you set auto login then you don’t get a login screen. I suggest you install without auto-login turn on. It gives a place to start trouble shooting. You can always turn it on latter.
A simple update may fix the problem since most of the Intel driver is built into the kernel it may require a kernel upgrade and there have been several since the 42.1 release.
