FWIW my video is built in to my motherboard and is the Intel HD Graphics 530. ... I think that equates to Skylake.
Xorg.0.log is giving me the following ominous message that to my untrained eyes seem bad but I don't know what they mean.. ... bigbang:/var/log # cat Xorg.0.log | grep EE (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.

I am using the ncurses version of Yast2 to configure my display and window managers. AFAIK from my Googling, plasma5 is part of

There isn't any settings under either the DISPLAYMANGER or DEFAULT_WM that allow me to select "plasma5". Ditto for "kde5", under DEFAULT_WM I can only select either KDE or KDE4 if I want to use a KDE window manager. I tried both, and on a lark I also typed in KDE5 for the setting, but no joy on any of these... Please advise me on exactly what I should set these two parameters to and/or if I am misunderstanding these settings.
kdeinit can't run because Xorg won't run. "(EE) /dev/dro/card0: failed..." is a fatal Xorg error.
OP just worked through a kernel update problem in another thread. In the process it's possible Grub2 and/or initrd got badly reconfigured. We need to know his 'cat /proc/cmdline' output, Hi Felix, and thanks for replying! OK this request is easy to satisfy -
bigbang:/home/marc # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.74-18.20-default root=UUID=ebf32d3d-bbdd-4d70-99e5-c15735bcd81d ro resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/befcf2d3-8c2c-484b-a196-55be5744a24f splash=silent quiet showopts
if not see his entire Xorg.0.log, dmesg and journal to find more clues. It could be nomodeset found its way onto the cmdline, which blocks use of any Xorg driver supported with Intel gfxchips. Oh wow! I think you are a gluten for punishment! LOL I am not sure how to send you, or the list that much info... Let me know what is best or how to trim it down....
Is the problem the same booting the previous (4.4.73) kernel? Yeah, I tried booting with the previous kernel to see if the desktop would come up, and it didn't... So something that is common to both is now broken... Did the just completed reinstallation and/or updates rebuild both/all initrds? And you just went above my pay grade, I dunno how to answer this..... Marc...
