Hi -I am running OpenSuSE Leap 15.3 x64 on one of my systems, and it is failing to start the desktop at the end of booting up. All I get is an XMessage box on a black screen with the error message "startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation." Looking in the messages log file I see this message - messages:2022-06-04T13:45:32.942306-07:00 nova startplasma-x11[2747]: "/usr/lib64/libexec/kf5/start_kdeinit_wrapper" ("--kded", "+kcminit_startup") exited with code 127 I don't grok this message and Google shows lots of old complaints about this problem but nothing current or seemingly relevant. Can some kind guru(s) help me to get this poor computer run and show my KDE desktop? I did use zypper up to make sure my computer has all the latest updates, but that gave no joy solving this problem. Probably something failed to upgrade or install. Run
zypper ve
to confirm all dependencies are met. Hi Felix, thanks for replying and yeah I am now working on my next
