Hi All,
I am in serious need of some assistance. I ran an update on my system and after reboot I am no longer able to login, either as myself or root. I receive the following error in /var/log/messages:
Apr 25 21:06:04 glacier systemd-logind[1160]: New session 4 of user root.
Apr 25 21:06:04 glacier systemd-logind[1160]: Linked /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 to /run/user/root/X11-display.
Apr 25 21:06:04 glacier checkproc: checkproc: can not get session id for process 4466!
I am running opensuse 12.1 kde 4.8.2 64bit.
Help is so very much appreciated.

Try in text mode.

Yes, I have no problem bringing it up in text mode. I am also currently logged into my desktop from my laptop. While the problem is clearly with xwindows, I am at a loss as to what it is or how to fix the machine
Are you using any proprietary vide drivers. If so did you reinstall after the update?
I see similar log messages, but they are not preventing me from desktop login. I doubt that they are directly related to your problem.
Try another login as yourself. If that fails, then login with a terminal session and examine “.xsession-errors” in your home directory - perhaps there is something there that points to a problem.
thanks for the replies. Yes, I am using the nvidia driver which was just updated to 295. I downloaded and installed the old 290 driver but the same problem persists. I get a login screen, but when I login, it just drops me back to the login screen. The error in xdm.errors is:
(EE) Failed to load module “vboxvideo” (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) Failed to load module “vmwgfx” (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) vmware: Please ignore the above warnings about not being able to to load module/driver vmwgfx
(EE) Failed to initialize GLX extension (Compatible NVIDIA X driver not found)
xdm info (pid 5168): sourcing /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup
so clearly it is the nvidia driver. I am just not sure how to fix this

Check if some filesystem is full.

Well I finally I have a driver in there that eliminates the nvidia errors. It makes sense that a filesystem would be full, but df says no:
rootfs 21G 13G 7.2G 64% /
devtmpfs 12G 40K 12G 1% /dev
tmpfs 12G 0 12G 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 12G 848K 12G 1% /run
/dev/sda2 21G 13G 7.2G 64% /
tmpfs 12G 0 12G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 12G 848K 12G 1% /var/run
tmpfs 12G 0 12G 0% /media
tmpfs 12G 848K 12G 1% /var/lock
/dev/sda3 5.4T 2.0T 3.2T 39% /home
/dev/sda1 98M 57M 37M 61% /boot
/dev/sdg1 932G 335G 597G 36% /home2
I can no longer boot into failsafe mode, it just reboots. When I try to login normally, it just brings me back to login screen. I can connect just fine from my laptop. I am frustrated and tired of trying to figure this out. I am on the verge of being done with opensuse. All suggestions are welcoome and appreciated. Thanksfor the help so far

What did you update? What repos are you using?
