What happens when you try a normal boot now?
Felix - I still get the same error - startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation.
If Plasma won't start, try IceWM, or whatever other session type your login manager offers.
Um, I am gonna need some help I think. The system was set up to automatically log me in, so I don't get the login manager screen. Without the GUI I don't know how to reset this.
I don't remember the official way to disable it when you cannot get into an X session, but if you rename your greeter's config file that should allow all the defaults, and let you start a session. Try /etc/sddm.conf or whatever /etc/sddm.cond.d/ contains, or the equivalents if using GDM or LightDM. YaST ought to be able to do it, but if not, you could try changing to a different DM:
update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager
as root systemctl isolate multi-user <ctrl><alt><f1> log in as <your user name> startx /usr/bin/icewm-session-default -- :1 will open an iceWM session for you. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
