Welcome. Let's go step by step.
I also found this searching the web. What about re-installing plasma.desktop or updating it?

I don't think it applies to your problem. He said he did a fresh install without formatting, and that's a recipe for problems. If you can not format, the correct procedure is "upgrade", as you did. But you got some advice from Patrick that might work [...] Ok, I see it didn't. Ok, what happens if, on the text console, you do: init 3 init 5 Tell the exact errors you get. Take a photo perhaps. *if it fails*, please run: update-alternatives --display default-displaymanager and tell the results. Mine: Telcontar:~ # update-alternatives --display default-displaymanager default-displaymanager - auto mode link best version is /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm link currently points to /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm link default-displaymanager is /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/default-displaymanager /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console - priority 5 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/gdm - priority 25 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/kdm - priority 15 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/lightdm - priority 15 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm - priority 25 /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm - priority 10 Telcontar:~ # I don't remember if the default for a plasma systemd is "kdm"; you could try switching to "sddm" instead, but you might have to install it: zypper install sddm Once installed, to do the switch you would do: init 3 update-alternatives --set default-displaymanager \ /usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/sddm init 5 And maybe with that you get a graphical login. Then, try to login to plasma, and if that fails, try other desktops till one works. You might have to install some extra pattern to get more desktops.
