Hello - I have a recalcitrant computer running OpenSuSE 15.3 that is refusing to start the KDE/Plasma desktop. After login I get a dialog box saying "startkde: Could not start kdeinit5. Check your installation."
Are you booting to a graphical system, then login there, or are you booting to a text system, and then run some command to get a graphical session?
Hi Carlos, and thanks for your question. I am booting directly to a graphical system. I get to the login prompt from the display manager OK but after entering my credentials, which seems to be accepted OK, things then go into the weeds and the display hangs with a box displaying the warning/error message shown in the Subject line.
