That was a huge help - removing the proprietary driver and using nvidia-bumblebee gets the desktop up and running, at least. I am still having some problems, however, so it isn't quite perfect. At this point, however, everything is somewhat sluggish running on the Intel card. If I completely remove bumblebee and simply use the proprietary driver, should that work? Simply disabling the bumblebeed service did not work; does the desktop always run on the Intel card even when BB is not enabled? Thanks, Sonny On 05/16/2015 07:15 PM, Wolfgang Bauer wrote:

So, this entirely breaks my system, as I cannot boot into KDE, and, frankly, iceWM isn't particularly usable in its default configuration. Well, you could install any other of the many desktop environments that are available. You should even be able to install KDE4 again, the packages are still in the repo. Of course you shouldn't update in this case as they will be replaced by Plasma5 again.
But I had a look at your bug report.
You write there: "In my case, my Nvidia card is not active by default (I'm using bumblebee), and it looks like KDE is incorrectly attempting to use the nvidia drivers rather than the xorg ones. " This sounds to me like you installed the standard nvidia driver. You shouldn't, as it breaks Mesa and therefore intel's OpenGL support (the desktop runs on the intel chip on Optimus systems).
Remove the nvidia driver completely and Plasma5 should work.
If you want to use the proprietary driver in combination with bumblebee, you should rather install nvidia-bumblebee from the Bumblebee repo. See also https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:NVIDIA_Bumblebee.
Hope that helps.
