Hi!
I'm having some trouble since my last zypper update yesterday. I'm using openSUSE 13.1, and have kept most everything up to date (run zypper up every few days to make sure I have everything). Yesterday, it happened to have also updated my nVidia drivers. I used the proprietary ones in the NVIDIA repo. Since then, I haven't been able to boot into Gnome 3. Since I thought it might be the graphics card driver (I have a GeForce 650), I tried reinstalling these drivers (zypper install -f). But that didn't help.
What I can do is hit 'e' in Grub and boot into text only mode (that's how I reinstalled the drivers). That seems to work just fine. I used zypper there to force update all of my nvidia drivers. When I rebooted though to go back into runlevel 5, I can't start gnome. Everything looks normal except that instead of the log-in screen I get a white screen with an unhappy computer telling me "sorry, something went wrong." The only option I have is logging out. See the screenshot here. I click on log out, I just get a blank screen. No other options. I can't open a virtual terminal either. I rebooted into runlevel 3 to get a copy of dmesg output, but I can' figure out what to do with it (sorry, don't really understand how booting works). The output from that file is available here.
Anybody know how I can fix this?
PS: I tried both "recovery" options in the GRUB2 boot menu, neither of them worked.
