David, is that the same for you or is it a different issue?
I'll attach my dmesg output below, maybe it helps.
I noticed it takes rather long before the graphical login starts, the first times I thought it didn't start, then I discovered this, so I wait a while.

When it worked, before, I didn't have to wait that long, now I wait and nothing happens. I will try and send a dmesg output. On my own laptop with intel graphics, after a fresh install, I cannot get x to start either. Whatever I try, nomodeset, intellegacy, nothing. Well, actually, it does start, but when I wait a while before entering password, it leaves the graphical shell and returns to console with a no responding system. Or when I login quicker, it starts the KDE session but just at the moment I see my desktop the same thing happens.

Did another test since I have a problem with the encrypted /tmp on the intel laptop, seems that was the cause, because now it starts without a problem. /tmp failed to mount, and obviously without tmp x cannot start. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In the end I removed systemd and now the system starts as expected, graphical login appears, still one thing not working but that is not in the scope of this bug. It seems this bug was entirely related to systemd which doesn't seem ready for prime time yet. I have even started considering returning to windows.
