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.
Ok... :-) Even if you don't like XFCE - I thought you would not, as you want KDE ;-) - you should at least be able to enter and mend things.
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....
Oh, my. I can't imagine why. Yes, I heard of this trouble, but I do not remember the cause. Keyboard error? Try login in a text console (ctrl-alt-f1). Create another new user. Make sure to only use alphanumerical passwords, no symbols. AH!! Check the free disk space of /home. Check also the permissions under it, /home/*
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.
Oh. :-( Some UEFI related trouble. Andrei may know.
Got any more good ideas? Getting closer inch by painful inch! LOL...
What a bucketful of bad luck :-( - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
