This is an issue I have seen in SLED 15.0 only.
I can hybernate the PC, no problem. But when I start up fresh, from time to time, randomly, the boot goes fine to login, but thereafter stops before activating the desktop. A hard reset usually helps.
Any idea how I can solve that?

Hi
Maybe a UUID issue with swap (assuming it’s 1.5 times installed RAM), if you check the output from;
```auto
cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
```
Does it use a UUID, if so try changing to the actual /dev/sdXN device name.

1.) Deinstall rpm package kernel-default-extra (=\> unsupported kernel modules).
2.) Check your kernel “tainted state”:

Modern hardware supports “UEFI Secure Boot”. I recommend for security reasons the usage of “UEFI Secure Boot”. For more information about “UEFI Secure Boot”:

Be aware that “UEFI Secure Boot” doesn’t (yet) support Hibernation/hibernate. See comment 29:

What is the consequence removing the kernel-default-extra?

Hi Malcolm, the unsupported Kernel was anyway not the reason.
SWAP results are this:
hans-christoph@linuxSLED:~\> cat /etc/default/grub | grep GRUB\_CMDLINE\_LINUX\_DEFAULT
GRUB\_CMDLINE\_LINUX\_DEFAULT=“resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/e1659cee-7914-425d-b343-17172a04b02a splash=silent quiet showopts crashkernel=174M,high crashkernel=72M,low”
I hope I can change it to device name:
Size is: 17 Gb (I use SSD)
name /dev/sda3
What I can’t understand is: The system boot up to login. The only what not happen is start the desktop. The system should be boot up complete?

Hi
If as root user check the output from;
```auto
blkid
```
Does the UUID correspond with your swap partition? Or you can change it to resume=/dev/sda3 in YaST bootloader, or via command line and rebuild grub.

Hi
So the system is not dual boot. In the BIOS anything related to fastboot support is disabled?
OK, so if it’s X related, what is your graphics setup?
```auto
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE
/sbin/lspci -nnk | egrep -A3 "VGA|Display|3D"
```

Hi Malcolm,
I have disabled fastboot support in Bios. I had double boot. But after 3 years I’m confident i SUSE now. 🙂 and since version 15 it is really a step ahead - works better than Windows.
Now I change my Server to Linux as well.
I learned the options of Bash and Linux… 🙂
------- X-Window-------------
I think because I get to login window, can login, but the Desktop do not start. And here X-window starts I think. I had in past some issues with x-windows.

Hi
OK, at the login screen if you select your name and see the cog (bottom right) select that and in the list select GNOME on Xorg, enter your password. Does this give you a desktop session?

Hi Malcolm,
yes. Randomly it happens. I boot up. The login screen appears. I log in as usual (use SLE Gnome Desktop).
And then the screen get black.
I wait.
Usually the desktop appears from center. But in some cases, sometimes often, the desktop does not appears. The screen is black and the mouse is visible.

Hi
OK, next time you boot, press the esc key to see what the boot process is doing, the other output to check through is;
```auto
journalctl -b
```
Looking for the likes of drm, intel and ERROR.

This is a bug in SLED15 SP1. I opened a support request for this (SR101276608721). This bug is still unfixed.

For security reasons, SLED15 SP1 use “Rootless Xorg”.
