Recently started using openSUSE 12.2 and found this guide on how to updgrade GNOME to 3.6:
http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/2012/09/gnome-3-6-for-opensuse-12-2/
After following the instructions, nothing seemed to have happened so I tried rebooting the system.
Now the OS won’t boot, I just get to a prompt saying “GRUB” with a flashing cursor.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do from here?

maybe:
ask the writer of the guide you followed what why it didn’t work for
you…how to reach the creator is listed on the page you linked, under
the heading “Found an issue?”
roll back to whatever you had before following the 3.6 guide…

Asked the author of the article, he said that I had been using other repositories.
When I said I hadn’t he proceeded to ignore me.
How can I perform a rollback when I can’t even get into the system?
Hello all, first i m new new here so i could not get to post a thread on the main board, but i need help on suse.
thing is like this, if you care to listen and help please… or you could help me post my q in the main discussion board:
i have installed suse linux server edition 11 on my server.
now after some tinkering since im very new to linux, i restarted the machine and i get some kind of a terminal boot option…
it asks for my username:
passowrd:
which i get it right, but then it doen not take me to the user friendly gui that was there, it takes me to a terminal command.
help can someone sort it out.
i did get a apache2 error, but i do not know how to access my file system from the terminal .
thank you .

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) is a commercial product provided by
the good folks at suse.com, and their forums are at forums.suse.com, the
password and ID you used here works there, at their main board also…
these are the openSUSE forums, or as you might call them the main board
for openSUSE…since openSUSE and SLES are different products we here
are not the best qualified to try to help you, please contact the other
folks…

Can you run any commands in the black screen ?
If so can you run “zypper lr -d” and post output within
tags
You can retain core repos disable other repos and perform a "zypper dup"
Or get the live cd(no upgrade) or dvd(upgrade supported) and install again
