Description Julian Medina 2007-09-08 05:37:57 UTC

When booting Opensuse 10.3 Beta 3 it starts up fine. But it does not launch any graphical interface. I tried getting into the shell and typing "KDE" and it says KDE Failed to launch. My graphics card is a Intel 82815 and I'm using a 2000 Gateway.

Provide full logs

Comment 2 Stephan Binner 2007-09-08 08:08:00 UTC

That sounds like not even X.org (with the graphical login manager) starts, correct?

Comment 3 Julian Medina 2007-09-08 17:57:39 UTC

I Posted the Log Below. The X-Server Fails to Load for some reason in KDE. I will try GNOME Later and let you know if it has the same problem.

that's not a log file. Is kdm even installed? Does it start? Does X start?

> >kde

That is not supposed to start an X server.

And that's an appropriate log file. Please attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Comment 7 Julian Medina 2007-09-08 18:08:03 UTC

I'm pretty sure kdm is installed. X does not start. When installing Suse 10.3, I did not have an internet connection. Do you think that could have affected it?

Comment 8 Julian Medina 2007-09-08 18:14:02 UTC

Sorry, No log can be made. It is not a directory. I will try GNOME.

Comment 9 Stefan Dirsch 2007-09-08 20:42:34 UTC

Could you attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log? Thanks.

Comment 10 Julian Medina 2007-09-08 21:33:31 UTC

Found the Problem! I have a Logitech Mouse. Opensuse sees it as Logitech MX Mouse. It is related to bug report # 262317. X Server Fails to Load due to the fact I have a Logitech mouse. It says "X Server cannot start because there is no mouse attached." I pressed ok and it says "The X Server is now disabled. Restart GDM when it is configured correctly." I tried booting up with my HP Mouse, But it still wants to look for the Logitech Mouse. I will probably have to reinstall. GNOME was the only version that told me that it was the mouse. KDE did not tell me anything. I will try reinstalling tomarrow.

Comment 11 Stefan Dirsch 2007-09-08 21:43:58 UTC

No need to reinstall with your HP mouse. Just run "sax2 -r" to reconfigure X11.

Thanks for your help! Are you going to fix this error in the Final Release?
