https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217787 Bug ID: 1217787 Summary: Kernel 6.6 and KDE Plasma do not work together, executing programs does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel Assignee: kernel-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: rigo@w3.org QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- I have a Dell latitude 7490. I have tumbleweed installed since 4 years, updated monthly. After upgrade to TW 2023-12-01, I got the following behaviour: When installing, dracut took much longer as usual and did 8 times the same module compilation/installation. The system boots until the login screen (SDDM) into the Xorg session. When logging into the KDE Plasma, the system gets stuck. Only the mouse pointer is shown on a back screen. Looking at the console, it says Failed to start powerdevil and it continues to try to start and fails. Trying to execute programs in a console terminal, the computer gets stuck and does not execute the program. Suggestion was to upgrade the Kernel. I installed OBS kernel:stable 6.6.4. The behaviour slightly changes. Now if trying to log in, the plasma screen shows the background images, but nothing else, except for the mouse pointer. Kernel 6.5.9 works fine and I can boot into my KDE session. So this is NOT a KDE issue. For the moment, I will not be able to upgrade anything and I will remain with kernel 6.5.9. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
