Description Frank Griffin 2016-04-07 20:07:49 CEST

After updating cauldron a few days ago, starting the DM locks the system tight.

Changing default.target to runlevel3 gives a bootable system, but as soon as you try to start the DM, it freezes.

On a fresh install of today's cauldron, the first boot into runlevel5 hangs.  If you hit Alt-SysRq-E, systemd displays messages saying "Stopping DM", and then "Starting DM", and it hangs again.

The graphical hardware is nvidia GeForce 610M using the default driver selected by XFdrake.

Comment 2 Frank Griffin 2016-04-09 02:35:44 CEST

Not x11, but sddm.  Other DMs start X just fine.

Summary: Current cauldron x11 freezes system => Current cauldron sddm freezes system

Whatever this was was transitory.  After switching to GDM and then LXDM (which both worked), I switched back to SDDM to get an Xorg.0.log, and now it won't fail. 

I had used drakdm from a tty to reset the DM, so whatever fixed this was part of drakdm processing.

Closing as INVALID.
