Hi,
I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.0, but i am facing some problems :
-
Start Up takes too long.
-
On start Up comes the following problem-
There was an error starting GNOME Setting Daemon.
Something such as themes, sounds or background settings may not work correctly.
The last error message was Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include : the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, time out expired or the network connection was broken.
Gnome will still try to restart the Setting Daemon next time you log in.
- I cannot shut down. (i.e. when i press shutdown a green screen appears with OpenSUSE in middle, the progress bar below it reaches to end but the computer still remains on, i waited for nearly 20-25 minutes but it didn’t turned off, eventually i unplugged. On next start same problem appeared…
)
Please help …
regards…
Hi-
You can check your boot log for errors in Yast > Miscellaneous.
If you find errors that you don’t understan post them here.

If you can’t get a graphical screen, just the locked up description that you cave. Try this:
Boot up in failsafe mode. You’ll get a boot prompt. Log in as root. Then enter startx in the hope you get a graphical screen – from there you can follow geoffro’s advice. If you can’t get a graphical screen, then enter the command yast and you get a text version of Yast → Miscellaneous → Start-Up Log → Geoffro’s advice
Or if that doesn’t work, from the console prompt enter this command:
cat /var/log/boot.log | more
or maybe it’s (can’t remember)
cat /var/log/boot.msg | more
to get a page by page reading
Hi,
i did reinstallation, this time with KDE 3, so the ‘GNOME Error’ is gone, but the other two problems still remains…
- too long time :yawn: (more than 5 minutes) for Startup
and
- computer cannot be turned off :’( …
please help, its really very frustating :disapointed: …
regards…
If it takes 5 minutes to start up, there very likely is a record of the delaying procedure in the boot log located at /var/log/boot.msg and/or /var/log/boot.log. Have you studied those?
