Installed Leap 15.1 - Stuck without a GUI
by EPS from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4X4J5)
Decided to upgrade my Suse from 43.2 to the new Leap 15.1
Bought a new Barracuda 1Tb HD.
Installed my image and Voila ! - Nothing.
On re-boot I get a black screen with my mouse pointer.
Reading through the threads posted here, I thought that it could be my old Nvidia GT208 graphics card, so at great expense I upgraded that to a new GT710. No improvement.
In rescue mode I opened a console window.
I could not get yast / yast2 to run, could not get zypper to run, so I don't know how I can get in to install Nvidia drivers or the Suse Nvidia repo.
Any ideas ?
