WOW sounds fun..

Hey ive noticed that you guys havent tried running a sudo apt-get autoclean and a sudo apt-get build-dep for a lot of those individual packages.. IT MAY take some time but you can usually fix broken dependencies.. that and there is a flag for it too.. just man apt-get

This appears to be a bug with Plymouth bootscreen.

  1. Whilst GRUB is at the OS selection screen select your OpenSUSE entry and hit e
  2. Comment out (with #) or delete the line
    ...
    gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
    ...
  3. Press F10 to boot

Once booted

  1. edit the file /etc/grub.d/10_linux
  2. comment out or delete the same line as above
  3. run sudo update-grub to make the change permanent

EDIT; You might also be able to solve this by disabling your integrated graphics card in BIOS

I don’t have integrated GFX but I did eventually solve the problem. Turns out, I'm an idiot and for the last 5 years I've been using nomodeset the wrong way the whole time. I've been adding it to splash instead of replacing splash... AS for the Ubuntu debacle, we'll see how much I enjoy SUSE, seems if you want most things ubuntu has , you gonna need to compile shit better.
