I've got a test system in VMware Workstation 17.5 that, after applying the updates released since 2023-11-12, hangs upon reaching the start of the Locale service. It's not a "hard hang" - I can't toggle VTs in the VM, but I can connect via SSH.
I've been able to reproduce this with a fresh installation as well from the most recent Net install ISO (also in VMware).
Adding 'nomodeset' to the kernel line in grub gets me to a text login on tty1, but Xorg still fails to start. Looks like a segfault.
The /var/log/Xorg.0.log is at https://paste.opensuse.org/pastes/ e8722dd3b81a
[ 6.877] (EE) vmware(0): Unable to map frame buffer BAR. Invalid argument (22) It sounds like something changed in the kernel. Try rollback and applying each update one by one to find which package triggers this problem. Educated guess - it should be kernel update.
I've added locks for xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-server-extra, and xorg-x11- server-Xvfb (the three Xorg packages that show up for updates), but the system still fails to get to a GUI target.
What other information would be useful to diagnose this issue?
