Whether I click the grub (for some reason unversioned) default entry or the alternative 6.3.1-2.2 kernel entry, the boot only gets as far as a log-in prompt, which would be just fine with me.
Do you mean a graphical login, or a text mode login?
But at this point I want to log in as root or as userMe, but how do I get from either of these logins to a running KDE/XCFCE desktop, or lightdm (for chosing DT and re log-in)?
So you got a text login? Your next step would be to examine the logs to find out why graphical mode failed.
As root neither of these work: systemctl isolate graphical.target lightdm
Starx probably would
As userMe:
startx does not work
What does this mean exactly? You got an error, I assume. Exactly which? -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
