Hi, I had this problem after doing a zypper dup and solved it by doing the following.
I logged in to IceWM instead of KDE. I started yast> software management> kernel. I downgraded my kernel and rebooted. I selected KDE at the login screen and KDE started right up.
Once I was back in KDE, I started yast> software management> kernel and upgraded the kernel. Then I rebooted into the new kernel and KDE without problem.
The use of another DE is most interesting and something which was already suggested Phanisvara. It sounds like a very good idea to have a standby DE available. But you don't say which kernel you were running at the time and to which kernel you downgraded. I am only using the kernel which was installed by default and have not upgraded it (like I did do when running the 32-bit version where I was running version 3.3.x of the kernel). So, which version did you downgrade to when you came across this problem? BC -- The wise man does at once what a fool does finally.
