Like the title said, I’ve updated openSUSE from 11.4 to 12.0 from repositories, the update was succesfull but i think im having a little problem with my video.
When the systems starts up, grub loads OK but i select my desktop and the screen turns black, then i cannot do anything else.

Do you have a special video card e.g. nvidia or ati?
Your (very nice looking) picture of the Grub OS selection menu does not show us that you typed in the nomodeset kernel load command which you would do here before you press the enter key. Also, you did not indicate if you gave the Failsafe entry a try either and what result that might have.
I’ve a ATI 6850 I thought that the vga was the causing of all this, but in terminal failsafe mode i activated the repo and try to update it, i dunno if that do something.
Thanks for answer,

Hi **jdmcdaniel3 **
with the pic i was trying to show that the system was updated to openSUSE 12, the thing is (sorry if my post wasn’t clear) i read something about to start up with “nomodeset” but i dont know how to use it, i just typed nomodeset in the screen (ej: VGA=nomodeset) and then i was in console mode, i activated the nic and tried to update the system but said “there’s nothing to do” with ATI repo active.

I’ve listed the repos in filesafe mode, (cause i can’t enter in graphic mode) but i dont know how to export the code to post in the forum, so far im in windows partition to check the forum.
Maybe this screen would help?
The repo from ati 12.1 would have the next url http://geeko.ioda.net/mirror/ati/openSUSE_12.1
I’ve tried with both, 11.4 and 12.1
Ps: If you can tell me how can i export the zypper lr to a file i would be grateful.

Yes, but let it be “zypper lr --details > file.txt”, we need to see the
URL. I suspect repeated repos.
