Hello Everyone,
I’m facing this really annoying problem after updating my SLES SP1 to SP2
Apparently everything went well when I did the update but now X (or gnome, I don’t know for sure where the problem is) don’t start and after boot process I only get the good old shell-mode
I’ve tried many things but nothing seems to work so decided to ask here
When the OS is finishing the loading I receive this messages
[QUOTE]Starting service gdmstartproc: signal catched /usr/sbin/gdm: Segmentation Fault
Master Resource Control: Runlevel 5 has been reached
Failed Services in runlevel 5: esp mcelog xdm
Skipped services in runlevel 5: nfs[/QUOTE]
When i try to use startx (as root) i get this

I’ve digged a lot and nothing seems to work…I’m thinking about installing KDE but I fear that it could just make things worse…
Sorry for long post (I tried to make it as organized as possible) and really thanks for your time guys
