Hi everyone,
I wonder if anyone else has had this issue:
I upgraded from openSUSE 12.3 to openSUSE 13.1 w/ GNOME 3.10 and it ran like garbage on my HP Probook. I wanted to give the new GNOME a chance and see if it would run better. Anyway, I was in the proceess of updating all GNOME related packages and installed gnome-session and gnome-terminal 3.12. I rebooted, and now I cannot get to the login screen. It will hang up at the point where the gecko on the vine image comes up.
Anyone else have a similar issue? Anyone know of a resolution? I have been scouring forums for a week and no one seems to have this issue yet. Any suggestions. Message me if you want more info (screen shots, boot messages, etc). Thanks!
Hi
What model ProBook? I have four of them, all run 3.10.x fine… three are intel gpu’s, the other is an older AMD.
How did you perform the upgrade to 3.12?
I have a ProBook 6550b. Intel i7 quad core with the Intel integrated graphics card, 4GB of DDR3 RAM… You would think that it would run fine right? with all those resources available. But the display is really glitchy, and my processors are being taxed at the same time. Sometimes they will all be hitting over 50% when I look in htop!! Also, I noticed it crashes over and over when I start adding extensions like caffeine, battery monitor, and more. Even if I only have one, it crashes.
I upgraded by editing zypp.conf and allowing vendor changes.
cd /etc/zypp/zypp.conf
solver.allowVendorChange = true
. Then I used zypper and I searched specifically for gnome-session packages and gnome-terminal packages.
zypper -v se -s gnome-session-*
zypper -v se -s gnome-terminal
and installed the 3.12 packages that came up for each one of those search strings. Then, I rebooted after the install finished and right after I rebooted I noticed that my splash login screen was gone.
