At this point you should just have created a new user and login as him instead. Seeing that you have not yet formatted this partition, you can still try.
Hi Carlos and thanks for your thoughts... I tried to create a new user and login is him but not joy, it results in a total black screen that is unresponsive to anything other than having an active mouse cursor. Right clicking fails to bring up the context menu either. So something is hosed at the system level and not allowing plasma things to run. The only thing that saves me in my own account is that I have been leaving some konsole windows open whenever I exit or reboot the system. Those get reopened whenever I log back in to my own account so at least I have shell access then and can run stuff from the command line.
Hi Marc, I have no idea if this is your problem, but I've regularly seen situations where two directories in a user's home directory become owned by root. These are ~/.cache ~/.dbus I've seen it happen when I create a new user, the symptoms are a black screen with the cursor that can be moved by the mouse. Nothing else works. The fix has been to login as root and do a "chown -R username.users /home/username/.dbus" and again with .cache. I have no idea why this happens, but it's been a fairly regular occurrence for me since the start of the Leap series.
