Familiar with Linux but this is my first time with SUSE.
Installed just fine but I decided I wanted to run it on a different
machine.
Put the drive in another mobo/video and it only boots to command line.
I've Googled but got useless info on how to reconfigure video from the command line.
Hopefully someone here will have a straightforward explanation.

Guess: the first machine had nvidia card and you installed the
proprietary driver. The second machine doesn't have nvidia.

That's the problem
When the display didn't open, the message was to use the settings manager
As I have asked, what command do I issue to access it?
Thus far I found yast2 but there was no option to configure the display.
FWIW: The only reason I installed SUSE was simply to evaluate it, so I
might as well just poke around on my own,
Still, if anyone know how to reconfigure video from the command line... please pass along the info.

I already did a fresh install.Hi
Still. What I wanted to know is how to reconfigure video from the
command line.
I'm always changing hardware on my test machines and needed a good way
to reconfigure.
Each OS has its own way of doing things.
Viz: Ubuntu and Mint are very similar but if I change a video
card...Ubuntu will automatically reconfigure but Mint (usually) will
not.
The other OS I'm evaluating is Fedora.
So far that one looks pretty good.
Though SUSE will not be my OS of choice , it runs incredibly well on
the low end machine I'm using for evaluation.
There were two other drawbacks however.
When the machine logs me out, when I attempt to log back in, I'm
presented with a black screen.
For me the real kicker was the inability to detect my network printer.
Every one of the OSes I run, did so automatically...or at least
easily.

It depends on the graphics card, depends on the Desktop environment
running and also if the desktop environment is running Xorg or Wayland.
Intel and Nvidia should run fine, depending on the AMD gpu and it's GCN version you may need some grub options for either radeon or amdgpu.
Likewise if you indicate the gpu in use via `inxi -GSaz` would help.
For the printer, temporarily stop the firewall and test, but I would
suspect you need to make sure that rCLmdnsrCY (Avahi discovery) and rCLipp-clientrCY (for IPP printers) is allowed in the applicable zone for
the LAN interface.

I've never seen a firewall block a printer by default so I just went
ahead and installed it manually. Worked fine
Nope.
My firewall did not block the printer .
Took me all of one minute to install it manually-a .

Yours maybe. The openSUSE firewall does block broadcasts, unless you set
the LAN to trusted.

Found the problem.
The original machine had ATI video but the "new" machine had Intel video.
No Intel driver was installed, so indeed there would have been no way to reconfigure what I had.
From the command line, I used yast2 and easily installed the intel-vaapi-driver and the machine now boots to the GUI>

And presumably it didn't work - that's worth knowing. I normally
update from DVD and I've used 'repair' on a few occasions.
And I learned from this thread that the console version (ncurses I

version. I assumed it did. When I recently updated to 15.6 the
GUI yast didn't work and I used the console one for a while -

Yes, it has all the modules. If there is one that is missing, that's a reportable bug.

Booting with the DVD did have a rescue mode.
It probably would have worked if the OS was corrupt but in my case, it
was not a corrupt OS per se...simply a lack of the right video driver.
