Opensuse 12.3 64bit
I had this happen a week or two ago just reinstalled to try a fresh start and find myself with only root access to KDE after all updates and 3rd party reops/apps needed for multimedia? I have attempted to remove the 3rd party repos and ran and than restarted after a run of zypper dup and still the same issue.
I have searched but not found this issue so I am stumped and I am not a tech user but usually can get by but not this time.
Well, can you login to a different session? (click on the “gear” symbol on the login screen to select the session; at least IceWM and twm should be available there)
And if you are using the proprietary nvidia driver, try to reinstall it. There was a similar thread lately, where this seemingly helped:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/486911-unable-login-user-after-update-please-help.html
Tried to re-install Nvidia packages no dice.
Can Log into iceWM.
Guess I will just use ice for now and wait and if things change in future updates.
Thanks,
Nick
You could try to rename the .kde4 directory and see if you can login then. (if yes, something’s wrong with your kde config)
Or try explicitely selecting “KDE Plasma Workspace” or “KDE Plasma Workspace (failsafe session)” on the login screen. (maybe the default session is set incorrectly)
Regarding the nvidia driver:
You know about the “video” group? (openSUSE 12.3 Release Notes)
This shouldn’t be necessary anymore after the recent updates, but who knows?
And to check if your driver is working correctly, please post the output of:
glxinfo | grep render
(you may have to install the package “Mesa-demo-x” first)

while logged into iceWM, run this command from a user terminal, and
paste the results back to this thread, please:
ls -hal ~/.*authority

why did you run zypper dup?
it is not a command to be run just anytime you want to…it is a
VERY dangerous command…can very easily kill your system with it…
instead, “zypper patch” will bring in all security patches, safely…
please show us the terminal output and input, as well as the
beginning prompt and exit prompt, from
zypper lr -d
copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions
here: http://goo.gl/i3wnr
and then, maybe someone here can help you reclaim your system with
KDE…

I think it’s safe to say that with your repo setup “zypper dup” won’t cause any trouble.
But I guess your multimedia stuff from Packman has been switched back to the standard openSUSE versions now. But that shouldn’t prevent you to login.
Also your .*authority files look ok. If they would have been owned by root f.e. you wouldn’t have been able to login to IceWM as well.
But what about the things I wrote in my last post?
This?

that looks ok. (sometime those get [accidentally] owned by root, and
it messes everything up)

OK
(you may have to install the package “Mesa-demo-x” first)
I think you overlooked this:
And:
Does that help?
My first attempts wher to rename .kde4 to ~.kde4 and to also make a new user to login with both failed. Also tried dirrect settings of plasma and failsafe.
nick@linux-tgq7:~> glxinfo | grep render
NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidia1 (Permission denied).
direct rendering: No (If you want to find out why, try setting LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose)

hmmmmmm…if that is what you had before you ran the dup which (you
think) started this problem…then i don’t know why the problem
started…because i think a dup wouldn’t break the system with
those enabled and refreshed repos!
however, i do wonder why packman is not enabled or refreshed??
additionally i wonder why you have that mozilla repo enabled…you
are already getting a new moz every month, is that not fast enough
for you?
and, don’t you get tired of having to put in the openSUSE disk? (just
disable or delete repo #6 above…that will stop the machine from
asking for the disk and it will remove the possibility of some
subsequent zypper command from going back to OLD software on the
disk–and, force it to use the latest via the repos…)
ok, if it my machine i would do this–but since it is not my machine
i suggest you read the caveat in my sig and also wait until someone
else here writes they think what i have below is probably safe for
your machine:
disable the repos numbered 1, 4, 6 and 12.
stop the refresh on repos numbered 1, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12
in a root terminal do your last “zypper dup” (until you are ready
to actually need dup–you do NOT need it to keep your system
up-to-date and secure, use ‘patch’ or ‘up’ for that, ‘patch’ being by
FAR safer)
run
zypper ps
and if it says anything is running from
memory, log out, reboot and try to log into KDE as your user…NEVER
log into KDE as root, always as your user!
let us know if you can log into KDE, or not…or if you see any
errors, warning, etc…
Add your user to the group “video” (see link above)
Actually had the issue start only having only used Yast2 + Amarok needed files to run an internet radio stream when this happened.
Thanks for the attempt.
This worked. What Above Link?
Thanks
Post #4:
This bug has been fixed in the latest updates, but it seems that the user also needs permissions for /dev/nvidia1 which is not taken care of…
Maybe you should add this to the bugreport:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808319
I did that now and reopened the bugreport.
