Can you login and get me:
zypper lr -d
i just installed from SUSE-11.2-GNOME.iso
after a long struggle of burning 2 3 cds
i can login root and user into system in icewm and xfce
if i login to gnome it just gets stuck
hard rest only possible.

i have deleted the 1 and 2 mentioned in the previous post
and added couple more repos.
now what do i do to correct the gnome desktop?
sound works in the user login.
root is not allowed to sound??
That is not what I asked for. I have edited it above
Let’s fix your problem before importing more.
I need you to do the above and give me
zypper lr -d (don’t miss the -d off this time)

If you want to fix your problem please pay attention to what I ask. The above is the repo list I need to see. Once you have it and I have seen it, I will tell you how to proceed.
ok right now i am on a computer with xp booted.
i will boot into suse tomorrow morning [my time now it is 11.00PM] and post the repo list as you said.
thanks for being patient with me.

ramaswamy@linux-efe6:~>
now i have got the hang of adding /removing repos correctly , i think
it reads same as you mentioned in the last post.
No - Not correct you have not made any changes at all
When you post it again, this is what it should look like:
1 | repo-update | openSUSE-11.2-Update | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /update/11.2 |
2 | repo-oss | openSUSE-11.2-Oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss |
3 | index_of_/distribution/11.2/repo/oss | index of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss | Yes | Yes | 99 | yast2 | Index of /distribution/11.2/repo/non-oss |
4 | ftp.skynet.be-suse | Packman Repository | Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | Index of /pub/packman/suse/11.2 |
i tried deleting all repos shown in Yast software repo first screen. then added the 4 repos .then i got the previously posted zypper lr -d
now i had to remove all repos with zypper rr 1
and i got no repos defined.
now with yast i added 4 repos you have shown.
then i get the zypper lr -d
ramaswamy@linux-efe6:~> zypper lr -d

i still wonder why yast did not remove the repos 14 nos.
also why the serial numbers have reversed from add order?
Please open a terminal and become su
Become su in Terminal - HowTo - openSUSE Forums
Do this in the terminal
zypper ref
then
zypper dup
zypper dup completed without any error.
again i tried

for gnome session login i get only a green[dark] with a movable mouse cursor.all other things locked.[nothing else present,keyboard would not respond only hard reset]
i can invoke a gnome-panel from terminal in icewm/xfce/twm
it shows what gnome panel loos like.
it does not recognise any terminal
simply cant get the gnome desktop.
But you can switch sessions here:
http://public.bay.livefilestore.com/y1pV3CFRNxdkY8riIpLM6CgGjO97E5LdVB7jv6_BTEbL5qWNSpcGRT_ZvfYy4R33e4qV97czVzWhGYZc-5bMkwmtw/session.type.png
It’s just that with gnome selected you can’t proceed - Is that correct.
yes i cannot get gnome desktop.
it goes to blank darkgreen mouse cursor movable only .
and there X gets stuck.
with gnome-panel in xterm i can see the gnome panel and all applications work.
same with root login also.
the distro upgrade has not changed the basic wrong/missing configuration
of gnome
all other desktops like twm icewm xfce i can change and get to correct desktop.
Go to a xfce session and create a new user account
Try logging in with that to Gnome
ok thats good idea.
i did not think of it.
i will get back to you tomorrow morning[my time IST]
thanks for fast reply.
