Opensuse 12.1 hangs in login screen

Hello, my name is Eduardo and i have a big problem. I updated from Opensuse 11.3 to 11.4 and then to 12.1.

I have nvidia drivers ( Geforce 6150 SE). When i boot suse everything works fine till the login window. When the login window is loading ( with black screen and the circle white of gnome’s mouse pointer) the system hungs.

The only error i see in systemctl is:

1 - systemctl status dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service
dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)

2 - systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/systemd-modules-load.service; static)
Active: failed since Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:35:39 +0100; 5h 22min ago
Process: 3110 ExecStart=/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/systemd-modules-load.service

I go to terminal 2 ( ctrl+alt+f2), i enter in text mode and if i run init 3 and then startx, i can enter in gnome.

I have installed properly nvidia drivers, because when i enter in X server, i run nvidia-settings without problems.

I’ve tried different kernel versions 3.0 and 3.1 and it happens the same, i suspect thats not an nvidia or X problem, but i need the computer as it has all my degree project.

Hope anyone can help me please

Hi welcome here,

If this machine contains such important data, then first backup your homedir. Now you have been risking to loose those data, experimenting on your own. We cannot know what you have been doing to the system. You can still make the backup by using a LiveCD, mounting the internal hdd’s partitions and copying /home/* to an external disk. Do that first, perform a clean install and restore the backupped data.

What method did you use for the upgrade?
Did 11.4 work fine?

Try booting with systemv (F5 at boot)

Wait for at least 6 minutes. Use a clock.

Thus, no video driver problem.

Nothing lost yet. But I would have done a full backup before upgrading or
installing.

1 - I have upgraded using zypper dup. Suse 11.3 worked fine for more than a year. When 11.3 was obsolete, i upgraded to 11.4. I rebooted i played for one or two days and then upgraded to 12.1. Suse 12.1 worked fine for some days, but after an upgrade an deleting an user i had problems with i have solved ( postgresql didnt start, mysql didnt start).

2 - Id try f5. Tomorrow id told you something.

3 - Ok. 6 minutes onlya jejejej.

4 - Nothing is lost because i can enter in text mode, and after the trick of init 3 in X system mode.

One more thing… something went wrong in zypper dup because i have lots of software installed that yast dont know ( Libre office, videolan etc…).

Ive seen you speak spanish perhaps we could chat in messenger, facebook or irc in spanish… as you can see my english is not very good.

Thanks for your efforts.

Nothing is lost as i can enter in text mode only. But i want to solve my problem and perhaps would help people with similar problems. Also it could be a bug or something not solved in suse updates.

Thanks for your help… but im trying to solve the problem.

I’ve removed /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop for my KDE
maybe you can try

There is a 5 minutes timeout in systemd, that’s why.

Right.

LO is known, vlc not.

Yep, but I don’t chat real time, and I don’t even have a facebook account :slight_smile:

There is a Spanish openSUSE forum, if you prefer. But I don’t use it
because they don’t have an NNTP gateway, which is my preferred method of
access.

And English gets better with practice >:-)

Ive tried to wait 8 minutes and the main problem is the same. It seems that the system boots ok, but when wats to enter in graphical mode, it gets stuck with black screen and with the circle thinking. Ive bieen waitin for more than 8 minutes. I have to ctrl+alt+f2 and enter as root.

Then:
If i boot in system d -> init 3 works fine, init 5 give some errors writen above about load-modules-kernk, vmusertool ( strange because i dont use VMware) and mounting swap.
If i boot in System V -> init 3 and init 5 works fine.

After doing init 3: both cases ( seems the errors in systemd doent affect the main problem) if i startkde it gives me error ( cannot find $DISPLAY in xset or something like that). If i run startx, it begins gnome in English.

You may have installed, mistakenly, the vmware guest tools, remove them.
The swap error post it here, may be related.

This is enough info to post a bug in bugzilla against systemd. Post, then
use systemv by default and wait for a resolution.

Yes but i still have the problem with system V…i cant arrive to the login window it gets stuck with blackscreen. Then i have to enter ctrl+alt+f2 as root, do init 5 ( or 3) and then startx ( as startkde or startkde3 doesnt work). I cant enter in the graphical system as a user… i only can enter as root.

The process is: black screen, ctrl+alt+f2, login in text mode as root, init 5, startx ( startkde and startkde3 gives and error), enter as root in gnome-session. Works fine ( english). Open terminal. Init 5. Gets stuck in blackscreen. Then go to ctrl+alt+f3. Enter as root in text mode, init 5 dont have any problem, init 3 i return to the gnome session ( opened) in ctrl+alt+f2).

This completely the opposite of what you said before:

i made some progress, well i think we can discard that its driver related topic.

I installed nvidia drivers, nouveau drivers ( previously uninstalling nvidia official drivers, deleting blacklist nouveau), and no drivers at all ( without nvidia nor nouveau). Kernel 3.1 and 3.0… always happens the same. Slighty difference between system V and systemd.

I boot with for example kernel 3.1.9 ( system V) it boots normally ( everything ok) till black screen of gnome with white circle of the mouse. Get stuck there.

Then i change terminal ctrl+alt+f2 enter as root. If i run startx they tell me: “error with xauth file /root/.serverauth.3189 does not exist. Server is already active for display 0”. I exit with ctrl+z. I run init 5. No problems. I run again startx and the same. Obvious because i have in terminal one the display active but stuck on black screen.

I run init 3. To restart X service. If i run startkde or startkde3 appears the message:

" xset unable to open display “”
xsetroot: unable to open display ‘’
startkde…
ksplash: cannot connect to Xserver
xprop: cannot connect to X server
kdeinit: aborting $display not set
ksmserver: cannot connect to xserver
Error: couldnt attach to DCOP server"

It turns to shell of

Then i execute startx and i enter in gnome session…in english.

In the session from gnome i can run startkde3 or startkde from konsole but it gets mixed with gnome… when i logout from the kde version launched from konsole i turn back to the gnome session in tty2. When i logout from gnome session i get the terminal-text mode of ctrl+alt+f2.

Is a way to load a 11.4 kernel in opensuse ? Just to try an older version, because perhaps with an older kernel it works fine ( 2.6.*) kernel.

Any ideas are welcome.

You have to clarify your symptoms and your replies. One day you say
something, the next the contrary, I can not help you this way.

I think that this is not related to the kernel nor to drivers, you are
wasting time. I’ll wait till you clarify the questions.

No problem. I’ll answer you here both in English and Spanish, because using
thunderbird and nntp is easier for me. I hope nobody gets too mad at me O:-)

For the next time, there are Spanish forums here:
Hay foros en español aquí:

No participo porque no tienen interfase NNTP. Pero seguro que tienen gente
que te puede ayudar.

I don’t participate because they don’t have NNTP gateway. But I’m sure they
have helpful people.

You say you get these errors with systemd:

No dice que módulos han fallado, pero creo que dijiste que eran módulos
relacionados con vmware. Ahora te cuento lo que hacer.

It doesn’t say which modules failed, but I think you said they were related
to vmware. Wait a bit.

Vale, tienes las guest tools de vmware, hay que quitarlas. Tengo una
instalación virtual donde puedo mirar lo que tienes que hacer.

You have vmw guest tools, you have to remove them. I have a virtual setting
where I can check what you have to do.

No creo que tengas ningún problema con el kernel ni con el driver de vídeo,
no toques eso que lo vas a estropear. Por esta frase que dices:

I don’t think you have any kernel or video driver problem, don’t touch that
or you’ll break it. Because you say:

> Finalmente si ejectuo startx me entra en gnome en ingles.

(finally if use startx I get gnome in English)

You can not try startx when the login window fails to show without killing
runlevel 5 first, switch to 3 first. Also you can not do it as user without
doing a change to /etc/permissions.local and applying it. Many of the
errors you sent me are related to this.

No puedes intentar startx cuando la pantalla de entrada gráfica ha fallado
sin cerrar antes el nivel 5, cambia a 3 antes. Y tampoco lo puedes hacer
como usuario sin hacer un cambio en /etc/permissions.local (linea de xorg)
y aplicarlo. Muchos de los errores que me has enviado se relacionan con
estas dos cosas.

Sospecho que la tty1 no te funciona, dejemos eso para más adelante.
I suspect that tty1 doesn’t work, leave that for another occasion.

I’ve done all you said it was a rcvmtoolsd file but not belang to any package. I installed open-vm-tools-…* and vmware-guest-kmp-desktop-8.8.0_k3… and then uninstalled them. so im sure no such packages are in my system.

I think this problems with systemd are a bug
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/471124-systemd-systemd-modules-load-service-failed.html

and i think it doesnt affect my main problem, because as said before if i enter in systemV, none of this error appear, but the problem with tty1 and login persist. I think i would return to systemv.

Results after made all you said:

So my progress:

If i run init 3 no problem. Is i run init 5 it gets stuck as “usual” in blackscreen and mouse pointer “thinking”. If i ran systemctl after init 3 it only gives me the systemd-modules-login error. The sdb6 swap error dont appear.

The /dev/sdb6 swap seems to work:

Seems to be something related to one service that appears in runlevel 5 and not in the others.

Thanks for your help.

Maybe.

Try “swapon -a”.

If it complains, post the error here, and the contents of fstab.

I don’t know what the login problem is, but lets try solve what I know.

I know very little about systemd, I have little chance of helping you with
those. So please, use systemV.

Plus you have not replied to the questions I asked. If you don’t understand
my English, ask.

I can not read that unless you use code tags or pastebin.

You upgraded system. Did you review the .rpmold files? Run
“rcrpmconfigcheck” and check all the files it lists.
