In booting, I do not get a command line. (Shouldn't I?) All I get is a big image of Leap 42.2, and a line of 'other' options. Anyway, doing ctrl-alt-F1 followed by a login and 'startx' fails.
No, you first have to kill the dangling/failed X mode. Login as root in text mode, issue first "init 3", and then you can try "startx" to try graphical mode. If you get a black screen, you probably can kill it with "ctrl-alt-backspace", twice. Then, on console #1 you can probably see the error messages.
I have never used pastebin and do not know the procedures.
It is trivial. You can also use susepaste.org zypper install susepaste then susepaste -t "tittle" -e 40320 "filename" and you get back a link which you post here. "man susepaste" for more options. this procedure works in text mode. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
