I just came back to my recently installed (overnight last night, just started using it today) openSUSE installation to find it frozen on the lock screen. After various attempts to get it to unfreeze I pressed ctrl + alt + f1, booted into bash and ran startx, only to find the following error message:To make matters worse, after running the startx command for the second time, the system won't even return to the Linux prompt. Anyone got any idea what's going on and how to fix it?Update: managed to get back to Linux prompt with Ctrl + Alt + F3...Update: trying to run Xorg separately and attempting to check the Xorg logs doesn't help either:Update: after running rcxdm stop command to restart the KDE and xserver instances, the machine shows the following error:Additional error screenAnd will not accept any command-line input at all.
openSUSE frozen on login screen, refuses to return to GUI
linux;bash;kde;opensuse;startx
Finally got the system working again by pressing Ctrl + Alt + F3 one more time, which got me back to the root terminal. From there I ran startx again; this time KDE started and I'm now back into my system (minus all cached information, everything I was working on, and for some odd reason the sound drivers...).
