Please execute as a user. Executing as a user gave me the same response -

Ah, you're using emacs, not vim. Yep, my fingers are emacs trained, have been for over 30 years now! LOL Only wish emacs would add some of the more modern paradigms for editing, such as copy/paste. But I have too many emacs macros, that I have created over the years, for me to give it up.
I am not sure why you pointed this out, why would the editor I use make a difference to why the KDE/Plasma desktop won't start? Thanks again Masaru Nomiya for your help, Marc...
Regards.
