Boot problems

[harmon]

Hi!
After having downloaded SL 5.5 KDE 64 bit, I checked md5sum, created a live USB with PartedMagic/ UNetbootin, booted with success and installed SL with root and home partition, and tried to boot (of course I run an update-grub: all distris were shown).
The second try booted to the desktop, but afterwards two problems:
eiher

udevd-work [4672] /usr/bin/vmmouse_detect Unexpected exit with status 0x000b

or

Cannot open Consolekit session failed to connect to socket/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket No such file or directory

If you can, connect your PC to eth and boot into recovery mode. From there, run by root

Code: Select all

equo deptest && equo libtest && equo update --force && equo install equo entropy && equo upgrade

As far as the vmouse detect,I have same message I don't think it is to serious, if your mouse works I would just ignore it

Hi!
Recovery mode I will try later on.
The "mouse problem" is that SL freezes sometimes after that error message!

Hi!
I could boot recovery mode and run the command - okay, after shut down I could normally boot, but again got the error "vmmouse" without consequence.
@ Matte88!
Thank you very much! I did nothing before that error message - could you please explain in a few sentences what could have caused that error?

Hi!
Concerning mouse problem - searching with Google - I only found bug reports for Fedora and openSUSE (and my own posting). On my notebook both are installed, but no error report during booting.
On a Fedora forum:

"rpm -V xorg-x11-drv-vmmouse" returns no issues.

Is there an equivalent command in SL?
Alternative?

I have the same message on starting kernel with my mouse A4Tech, but my mouse is working correctly.

It seems to be a bug; I tried it with 2 USB mice and without -> each time the same message. SL sometimes freezes, if not the mice work.

same problem here with SL 5.5 KDE x86_64
external usb mouse works and also touchpad, but systems hangs a bit at boot.

in "system settings" -> "input devices" there is a big yellow exclamation sign when I click on the entry "touchpad".
it says following:
"touchpad configuration is not supported on this system. the synaptics driver is either not loaded or too old. refer to the documentation for information about the required driver version."

i was hoping to get some help in here...
