On my fourth attempt, thinking that the Nouveau driver might be the cause of this problem, when I reached the KDE desktop I added the NVidia repositories using YaST and had YaST again install all updates and recommended packages. That got the NVidia drivers loaded, but unfortunately I still get the ksmserver-logout-greeter crash and lose the GRUB menu of OS choices upon rebooting.
It is interesting that immediately after I complete the installation process and first boot up the laptop, the GRUB menu of OS choices does show up as one would expect. But when I reboot, AFTER running Leap 42.2 and the KDE desktop, I lose the GRUB menu and get dropped into the low level GRUB command line environment. I wonder if this is connected to the ksmserver-logout-greeter crash since that is the only other anomaly that I see happening.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions, gosh I feel like I am awfully close to getting this working! Thanks again.... Marc..
Install XFCE as default X system, Also install KDE as secondary (via pattern selection).
I don't know about the grub trouble... something went wrong in the update.
Thanks Carlos, your suggestion got me a bit further along, but well...... Can't say I am really enamored with the XFCE desktop but installing it seems to have solved the ksmserver-logout-greeter crash issue. But another issue has surfaced, I cannot log in as me! (i.e. under my own user name) I CAN log in as root however! I double checked my user password and even tried to change it with YaST, but no joy. I did set up root with a different password than my personal user password but I can't imaging why that would make a difference.... As for the GRUB troubles, when booting up, I have discovered something bizarre is going on. If, I bring up the BIOS configuration menu and then simply save and exit it, then the GRUB OS selection menu does come up and I can select and boot up either Windows 10 or OpenSuSE. (I don't have to make any changes in the BIOS, just simply save and exit it!) But if I don't jump through this hoop of bringing up the BIOS configuration menu and saving/exiting it, then I get dumped into the GRUB low level console. Got any more good ideas? Getting closer inch by painful inch! LOL...
