This is a several months old installation if OpenSuse 13.2. I was using KDE but was running into problems getting dropbox working in KDE so I decided to try out Gnome.
Everything was also working fine when using Gnome (3.14) and I got dropbox working. Since I can never be happy leaving well enough alone, I decided to see if I could update Gnome to a more current version.
I ended up on this page:
https://en.opensuse.org/GNOME_repositories
and added these repositories:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/STABLE:/3.16/openSUSE_13.2/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Factory/openSUSE_Factory/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/GNOME:/Next/openSUSE_Factory/
and then I ran zypper up and zypper dup. There was a lot of work performed after zypper dup.
Upon restarting the machine, the OpenSuse splash screen appeared and then went away and I was prompted via CLI to log in. Attempts to enter a user name at the login screen were problematic because not every keystroke would register. Sometimes it would type a character on the second try and sometimes on the fourth try. When I get to the password part, I cannot tell if a character is being typed or not so I can’t log in.
Where do I go from here? I could easily just reinstall OpenSuse from scratch without much pain but I would like to at least take a stab at this before giving up.
