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. [ 547.062] (EE) /dev/dri/card0: failed to set DRM interface version 1.4: Permission denied ... could not start kdeinit5. check the installation
this is probably the problem, you said you are running kde4 and kdeinit5 is from plasma5/kde5
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, 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. Is the problem the same booting the previous (4.4.73) kernel? Did the just completed reinstallation and/or updates rebuild both/all initrds? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
