All,
I’ve got a new job, and a new computer which is a 13" MacBook Pro. Loaded Parallels, which I’ve used for years and with many different distros. I thought I’d give OpenSuse a go, and I’ve installed it various ways probably 15 times now. Only twice has it been successful in logging in. I can always get the OS installed, but at the login screen I sign in and it just immediately kicks me back out to the login screen. I’ve found that if I do a custom install and use XFCE, it installs AND lets me sign in. Before I start looking at getting other DEs going on it, I figured I should get Parallels Tools loaded successfully first. Well that’s been a failure so far! Initially it gave me some errors and I was able to get a bunch of dependent packages installed, but now I’m stuck. Hoping some others have run into this and fixed it, or some of you might have some suggestions that would help me…

Nothing to do.
