English Install/Boot/Login

Hello,

after i did a system upgrade via “zypper dup” yesterday i cannot login to the GUI (Gnome and IceWeasel) anymore. When selecting the user and typing the password and then hitting enter, there is usually a short flicker and then the login window is back and i can try to login again as if the last try did not happened. But sometimes after hitting enter, the pc/system just freezes forever and i have to perform a hard reset! Today i performed another zypper dup, there are a lot of changes but the problem stays.

I am using a Dell XPS 15 9560 notebook and the current version of tumbleweed.

Test with a different Display Manager (not different Desktop).

yes, xdm works but gnome is very slow but this is probably related to gnome itself.

#4

Also test with LightDM

The same happened to my Tumbleweed too. Obviously it is Gnome related, other DE work. SUSE pushed a way too far in its latest practices to provide unstable content and turn users into QA.
Thanks,no, I will check after a week with another update.
