I have not yet figured out which component is broken, nor have I tried installing that update on my real TW machine. Adding "nomodeset" to the kernel boot line does not help. Of course, I can boot to mode 3.
I don't know the answer, except to say that you're not alone. I get the same thing, though it's installed on iron rather than a VM, and in KDE not Gnome.
After much faffing around I got my desktop back by removing the package Mesa-dri-nouveau 17.0.4-160.1. The penalty is that I lose my Plasma5/KDE compositing desktop effects.
This might not help in your case, since mine is a physical installation with an nVidia video card using the default nouveau drivers, where you are in a VM and Gnome. But the admonition that comes with the Mesa-dri-nouveau package that it might not mix well with KDE/Qt seems to be borne out (though this is the first time I've had trouble with it).
the package Mesa-dri-nouveau 17.0.4-160.1 does seem to prove very meddlesome at times -- opensuse:tumbleweed:20170426 Qt: 5.7.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.32.0 KDE Plasma: 5.9.4 kwin 5.9.4 kmail2 5.4.3 akonadiserver 5.4.3 Kernel: 4.10.12-1-default Nouveau: 1.0.14_2.1 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
