Still no desktop.
With nomodeset in effect, you wouldn't like it even it you got it, @1024x768 or 1280x1024 instead of 1920x1080. Nomodeset blocks the i915 kernel module from loading, which blocks both applicable competent display drivers from use. No desktop ordinarily means your attempt to start a Plasma session failed. It could be taken to mean no login greeter appeared. Where are you at now? Still booting with nomodeset? Nomodeset is for troubleshooting, well short of full X functionality. More troubleshooting follows: After eliminating nomodeset and rebooting, login as root on a tty and do: update-alternatives --config default-displaymanager and select something other than SDDM, such as XDM or LightDM, then restart X or reboot. If working Plasma results, the problem was obvious. If not, could be it's Plasma. Is an IceWM session option available in your login greeter? Does it work? ~/.xsession-errors may be full of errors. Is its size more than 3 digits? You could share it with susepaste. Are any errors evident in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? If you aren't sure, susepaste it and share the URL. This is a typical Xorg.0.log size with Intel graphics and one display in use: # ls -gG /var/log/Xorg.0.log -rw-r--r-- 1 32494 Jan 23 23:47 /var/log/Xorg.0.log # This is a typical size with Intel graphics and three displays in use: # ls -gG /var/log/Xorg.0.log -rw-r--r-- 1 46293 Jan 24 16:54 /var/log/Xorg.0.log # If yours is less than about 20k, probably something is crashing, or you booted with nomodeset applied. If it's missing, it usually means Wayland was used instead of Xorg. In that case, you might find it in ~/.local/share/xorg/ instead. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science. Team OS/2 ** Reg.
