Xorg issuse after upgrade to Tumbleweed

English Install/Boot/Login

After upgrading to Tumbleweed and rebooting Xorg will crash upon initial startup or reboot with “xf86OpenConsole: VT_WAITACTIVE failed: Interrupted system call”. I’m using the fglrx driver and tried the redeonhd driver with the same results. Xorg.0.log is as follows:

After this my I’m dumped to a command line login and my display is corrupted. If I login as root and go to single user mode and then from there move to runlevel 5 the display comes up, I get kdm and can log in to KDE normally.

I found the following: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/441653 But have not been able to relate this fix to opensuse.

I’d appreciate any thoughts anyone might have.

I’m experiencing a similar problem, after updating the system yesterday. I log in with my user name with root permission to startx. Since it’s a test install, I’ll tinker more, until the next RC is released in a few days, if an update fails to correct it.

Thanks for the reply, I wish you the best fo luck. My problem is resolved. I was testing Plymouth prior to my upgrade to Tumbleweed and it appears Plymouth was causing my issue. To keep the story short, I reinstalled bootsplash, uninstalling Plymouth and my system starts like it should. I’ll get back to Plymouth sometime later…

Thanks for the feed back. That’s something for me to check into, should I have a similar issue again (hope not).
However, I resolved my problem with a fresh install of 12.1RC1 and glad I did, thus far :wink:

Nice to hear that you solved your problem but using that RC1 will keep you away from Tumbleweed, at least until it gets updated to 12.1 as well.
