Hi,

You can try to install from the DVD or NET ISO.

You could also look in the journal if there is something obvious.

Cheers,

Guillaume

Subject: Desktop in Raspberry Pi 3 B+

I have been trying the current Leap 15.5. aarch64 appliance on a Raspberry Pi 3 B+. Most things are working. But I have a problem with the GUI login / desktop.

I started with the KDE variant. ssdm would not start. I saw that it complained that there was not enough memory for some texture, and it exited. So I switches to xddm. That would start. But when KDE should start, I get a functioning mouse cursor, but nothing else, Just a black background. With a mouse.

I then tried xfce. Then the login part went fine with no changes. But the desktop was still a problem like with KDE. Except the screen background was white. I see that some processes related to the desktop are running. I don't know xfce well enough to know if some critical thing is not running.

When installing Raspbian on the device, the desktop works. But perhaps its lxde that uses far less resources?

Should I expect that all these desktops start on a Pi 3 B+? I now that there might be performance issues. But should they at least start. And int he case of KDE/sddm, should the login at least function?

I'm confused where to look next.
