Since this forum is for issues specifically relating to SUSE Linux  
Enterprise Server (SLES) for SAP Applications please can I check that  
you are actually using SLES for SAP Applications 11 SP4 (as according to  
the prefix you chose when posting)? Please can you post the output from  
“cat /etc/\*release”.

Which repositories do/did you have enabled? Please post the output from  
“ls /etc/zypp/repos.d/”.

Thank you Simon,

Yes, its for SAP

openSUSE 11.4 (x86\_64)  
VERSION = 11.4  
CODENAME = Celadon  
NAME=“SLES”  
VERSION=“11.4”  
VERSION\_ID=“11.4”  
PRETTY\_NAME=“SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP4”  
ID=“sles”  
ANSI\_COLOR=“0;32”  
CPE\_NAME=“cpe:/o:suse:sles:11:4”

GNOME.repo non-oss.repo oss.repo

i removed all the old repo, when i removed them, the issue has been fixed,

but now when i run startx, i got the below error :

Dummy input method “none” (do not use any fancy input method by default)  
/usr/bin/gnome-session: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libgobject-2.0.so.0: undefined symbol: g\_variant\_type\_copy

can you help me on that ?

Whoa there is one glaring problem with the above - the reference  
to openSUSE!

I’m also thinking that if this SLES for SAP Applications then  
there should be a reference to SAP in the above output.

> GNOME.repo non-oss.repo oss.repo[/color]

Whilst I was perhaps expecting to see an odd repo none of these  
are SLES (whether “regular” or for SAP Applications) and coupled  
with openSUSE showing up in the output above indicate that the  
server only had access to openSUSE (likely openSUSE 11.4) repos  
and is likely running with incompatible packages.

By “old repo” do you mean the three listed above or some other(s)?

Whilst removing incompatible repos is a good thing that alone  
won’t fix the problem as I suspect you have packages installed  
from them which is what is causing problems …

I believe the above is a symptom of incompatible packages being  
installed on your server, in this case most likely from the GNOME  
repo.

Is this a production server? I’m really hoping not as I think the  
best thing would be reinstall it to get it to a known working and  
supported state.
