A final update. Used everyone's suggestions to boot into run level 3. Once there opened yast and did an online update. Noticed both yast and zypper were updated as well as numerous packages. Also noticed no Nvidia packages were updated. Ran yast online update a second time but no new packages were selected for update. After yast was done ran 'zypper up' and updated another 84 packages. Not sure why yast online update did not update these 84 packages.
Because YaST does the equivalent to "zypper patch" not "zypper up".
The Nvidia packages were updated this time. Rebooted and all is now back to a normal run level 5 boot.
Thanks everyone for the help on this.
