Problem with GUI after upgrade

kaplan71 · 03-13-06, 04:06 PM

Hi there --

I installed OpenSUSE 10.0 onto a Compaq Deskpro Evo system with the KDE desktop, and the installation was successful. I then ran the Online Update and selected all updates. After the updates completed, I noticed the GUI desktop does not work. I then went to the NVidia website and downloaded the latest installer program. However, the installation failed.

Has anyone seen this, and know what the correct action to take is?

Please post the installer log for review.

Thanks,
Lonni

I had a similar problem. I ended up solving it by doing a reinstall. Only this time, instead of updating the nVidia driver from YaST, I downloaded it from nvidia website and installed it manually. Unfortunately I had to do all this from command line, but it does work fine now :-/
