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
Once that's done, let's see output of the following command:
zypper se -si | grep 'tem Pac' | grep -v plication
OK, here you go, kinda long and wraps every line, sorry!
In SeaMonkey Mail, which TB was forked from, and now supplies patches that SM Mail uses to continue, I am able to toggle line wrapping on/off in the current composition. Can't you add the Toggle Worg Wrap extension to TB? I don't recognize anything amongst those oldies that should impact starting up a Plasma session. Let's work first on getting any X session to start, by disabling auto-login. I cut your System Packages output down to manageable groups:

Some of these I would have expected to be upgraded by a zypper dup, but the rest are from your optional repos. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg. Linux User #211409 ** a11y rocks! Felix Miata
