Hi
updated Tumbleweed a few days ago to build 20210425.
Reboot ended in a command prompt rather than firing up KDE. Using Kernel 5.11.4 made it work again.
Spent some time today in figuring out what the problem is and it seems the nVidia repository is out of sync - the kernel used there is still at 5.11.11 rather than 5.11.16.

I'm currently typing this from TW 20210427 running 5.11.16-1-default along with the nvidia proprietary 460.73 driver (installed by the "easy" method). If you are also on the 460 driver, my guess would be that your system's nvidia kernel module has not been rebuilt for 5.11.16. The module is normally automatically rebuilt as part of the TW zypper dup, but this sometimes doesn't happen. This has happened to me a few times recently, in these cases I found that a forced reinstall of the driver's kernel module followed by a reboot usually fixes the issue: % zypper in -f nvidia-gfxG05-kmp-default % reboot I've not tracked down exactly why sometimes fails, perhaps it is some chicken and egg circumstance. I did notice on one occasion I seemed to be missing a kernel-source install for my current kernel - but I'm not clear on whether this was the cause of the issue. Cheers, Michael
