This is a fresh offline upgrade to 20190623 from 20161221 that seemed to go without significant trouble. I did file two bugs, but only about YaST2 malfunction. Gwenview doesn't run because it requires libexiv2-26 while -27 is installed. I can boot to KDM3, login and work normally, but on logging out, screen blinks a bunch of times, then stays black with blinking cursor at upper left, and sometimes no response from keyboard. On random boots, KDM never appears, but there is the blinking cursor on the all black vtty7. Remote login allows data collection if and when the keyboard is locked: # systemctl status xdm â display-manager.service - X Display Manager Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/display-manager.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) since Thu 2019-06-27 03:03:33 EDT; 15min ago Process: 1535 ExecStart=/usr/lib/X11/display-manager start (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Tasks: 1 (limit: 512) CGroup: /system.slice/display-manager.service ââ1072 /opt/kde3/bin/kdm Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 display-manager[1535]: /etc/vconsole.conf available Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 display-manager[1535]: KEYMAP: us Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 display-manager[1535]: Command: localectl set-keymap us Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 display-manager[1535]: I: Using systemd /usr/share/systemd/kbd-model-map mapping Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 display-manager[1535]: Starting service kdm..done Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 kdm_config[1557]: Multiple occurrences of key 'AllowRootLogin' in section [X-*-Core] of /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 kdm_config[1557]: Multiple occurrences of key 'ShowUsers' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 kdm_config[1557]: Multiple occurrences of key 'UseTheme' in section [X-*-Greeter] of /opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc Jun 27 03:02:35 kt880 systemd[1]: display-manager.service: PID file /var/run/displaymanager.pid not readable (yet?) after start: No such file or directory Jun 27 03:03:33 kt880 systemd[1]: Stopped X Display Manager. # cat .xsession-errors-\:0 udisks-glue: no process found startkde: Starting up... kbuildsycoca running...
