Well actually it is KDM problems. KDM seems to need KDE4. See the thread on KDE4/Qt4 removal. Well the KDM I have needs KDE4. Even though I'm using "5" or KF5 as much as possible. But KDM seems problematic. maybe its a repository problems.
That means you load two set of libraries.
But there is no KDE4 removal in Leap 42.x, nor on 15.0/15.1, you can keep using KDM.
Yes. To some degree that's the problem with incremental upgrades rathe than a clean-sheet install, isn't it?
But I seem to have now go so far into using KF5 that a lot of previous stuff is broken. And a lot of "5" stuff isn't working right.

The basic OS is 42.3.
Along the way I keep trying to use SDDM instead, but despite library updates and SDDM updates I hit the same problem
The login screen comes up with my name there asking for password. But if I adjust anything, try altering any of the pull-downs or try typing in the password everything freezes. Nothing work, no way to input or delete or pull-down. Cursor moves but nothing works. no way to log in. NOTHING.
I have to go to a VT term and change /etc/sysconfig/display to lightdm or xdm and reboot.
This doesn't work in 15.0, remember. May still work in 42.3.
Yes, I've read the "15" release notes about that. The 'update-alternatives' stuff.
Looking that the processes on the hot-keyed VT: no SDDM isn't in a spin loop, its just frozen.
Frustrating as I don't even know what to look for next. Why shouldn't it work?
I'm trying myself in knots.
I can imagine kedeinit failing and bumping back to the login manager, but this isn't that. It SDDM *freezing*.
Suggestions?
Dunno. I'm using sddm on 15.0, no problems so far.
Yes, but why shouldn't SDDM work on 42.3?
Pure 42.3, or some concoction? :-) Because 42.3 does not do incremental upgrades, nor does it has problems with kdm. :-? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
