Hi Michal and Felix,

Thank you for your prompt responses. I have reinstalled the 6.4 kernel, and
here are the updated package details:

Current Issue

After reinstalling the 6.4 kernel and ensuring that both kernel-default-extra
and kernel-default-optional packages are installed, I am now able to see the
Leap logo during boot. However, I do not reach the DE (Desktop Environment)
login page (XFCE). The screen remains blank after the Leap logo is displayed.

Steps Taken

    Reinstalled the 6.4 kernel and verified the installation of
kernel-default-extra and kernel-default-optional packages.
    Booted using the kernel-default-6.4.0-150600.21.2.x86_64 kernel.
    Observed the Leap logo appears during boot, but the screen goes blank
thereafter, without reaching the XFCE login page.


Additional Information

    The issue was initially related to the missing Nouveau driver, which has
now been addressed with the installation of kernel-default-extra.
    The problem now seems to be transitioning from the boot logo to the DE
login screen.

Please let me know if there are any additional diagnostics or logs I can
provide to help resolve this issue. Thank you for your assistance.

Best regards,

-Jacopo
