Instead of manually creating the file above, you can also run the following command: ``` kwriteconfig5 --file startkderc --group General --key systemdBoot false ``` Shell we revert the setting of Plasma to resolve this issue for 15.5? I would not keep the current situation anymore where essential features like text input are broken. The setting is supported by the upstream for a while; it is still configurable. Furthermore some people here have tested this old style. Again, fixed package is ready: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:ftake:branches:openSUSE:Backports:SLE-15-SP5:Update/plasma5-workspace.openSUSE_Backports_SLE-15-SP5_Update Please note that we also have to resolve in systemd side too by the release of 15.6 or later; other desktop environments other than KDE might start to use it. Please consider update systemd in Tumbleweed to v254, which is shipped with my patch to fix this issue.
