Need it back

English Install/Boot/Login

I have looked at a couple posts here that state a problem after updating. I have one as well, if that’s what an update is…

I get a couple different items, but it won’t load x server which I believe is the GUI for the KDE 3.5 desktop? It never in the past (pre update) asked me to provide a login to advance to it but now it does, I log in using either my general login or root login with applicable passwords and it takes me to the command prompt, I did learn on here to use “startx” which I tried and it started loading until it stopped and gave me the errors, I appologize I don’t have the exact info it gave me right now, I will have to run it again to write it all down. But in the end I can’t use the computer due to the updates. Any way to maybe install the new 11.1 from that point, I was using 10.3 Suse. I am fairly new to Linux so I am really at a loss as to what to try next or what might work. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Probably some no display / screens found error.
What video driver are you using? How you installed it?
Not exactly… X isn’t a GUI for any KDE :slight_smile: Take a look to this: X Window System - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Good luck.

Did you have a propitiatory graphics driver from ati or nvidia if so you need to reinstall them
