Hi all.
I am new with openSUSE and I installed v 12.3 on a VMware virtual machine. I have a problem with the Gnome and Metacity desktop environments.
During installation I selected all the packages and dependencies for desktop environments, so I think it is not a missing dependencies problem.
I have installed VMware tools installed inside the VM and enabled Accelerate 3D graphics.
The OpenGL renderer is listed as Gallium 0.4 on SVGA3D.
When I select either Gnome or Metacity from the login screen, all I get is a blank desktop with no panels, no icons, nothing! All there is (apart from the default desktop openSUSE wallpaper) is a cursor which moves as I move the mouse, but no reaction to either left- or right-clicking. However all the other desktop environments load properly with no problem whatsoever. I tried loading Recovery Mode but no success there neither.
Does anyone else using 12.3 on VMware Workstation 9 face this same problem? Any ideas on how I can go about to solve it?
Thanks.
