I tried Robby's suggestion, and managed to boot into KDE by switching to tty7. Didn't think it would be that straightforward. Anyway, since I added the boot parameter "debug printk.devkmsg=on".

Indeed, about every third login required a text-mode password prompt, not the graphical one. It was pretty much random which one I'd get, with about only a 33% success rate in getting the graphical one at all. That has been happening for at least three years, since I started using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. By "text mode password", it was still a full-screen text entry, with the prompt more or less centred on screen. That's not how I had to boot the last two times, though, to recover from this bug. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
