If you installed from a DVD, you have bug 383336 possibly. Bug has work around, see also http://en.opensuse.org/Bugs:Most_Annoying_Bugs_11.0_dev. Is this what you are seeing? i don't think so, and actually i don't experience #383336 at all (that might be becasue i have a dhcp-set hostname which is resolvable?) By "unresponsive" here, i mean "does not react AT ALL". The text cursor in gdm login field does not blink, i can't type in any text nor click any of the buttons (although the mouse cursor moves, changes from arrow to text over the input field and disappears when i start typing). I gave up waiting for the gnome session after a couple minutes. (should start in some 10 seconds, maybe less) I'm not sure if i tried to start any gnome apps, but the system seemed to generally work in KDE. Firefox and thunderbird both work, although the former is badly broken (see Bug 386867) workaround for #383336 definitely did not help Ok, this somewhat sounds like 387311. Do you see the same error in /var/log/messages as noted in that bug? alright, turns out compiz (and "acceleration" in general) is the culprit. the system has NVIDIA GeForce7300LE, which, before the upgrade, was running with accelerated "nvidia" driver, compiz and desktop effects enabled. the "nvidia" driver was lost on upgrade and replaced by non-accelerated "nv" driver gdm and gnome session start compiz, and it runs successfully (even though 3D acceleration is not present), but from that moment on, the screen is not updated. If i start a GNOME session, switch to terminal and then switch back, my changes (i.e. opening a new window, dragging it) become visible. But they are not interactive, it appears as if the system did not respond to my actions. Manually killing compiz and starting metacity solves the issue. (switching back component to GNOME - sorry about that, i changed it accidentally. I'm filing a related bug for Xgl) *** Bug 390411 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Unfortunately /opt/gnome/bin/gnome-xgl-switch no longer exists on openSUSE 11.0. :-( Otherwise during uninstall of the nvidia package Xgl would have been disabled.

Maybe without Xgl compiz would not have been started due to missing GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap extension. But I'm not sure.
it is now called xgl-switch and is in Xgl package. However this is a bug due to minimal compiz running from Xsetup, try running compiz-manager, it should launch compiz with proper plugins and variables required for it to run properly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 387168 *** |
