I can confirm that the graphical login to kde with snapshot xxx21 or maybe xxx20 doesnt work. screen is black with cursor top left, mouse pointer is shown an moving. reverting to xxx19 (but kernel 5.8.0?) everything working again.

Just a hunch, can you check systemctl status tmp.mount ? On one of my machines I had a dangling symlink for /etc/systemd/system/tmp.mount . I removed it, ran systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start tmp.mount And then /tmp was back in place and graphical login worked. Robert

Gentlepeople;

Recently updated to Tumbleweed 20200821 and found that I could not get a graphical login with the default 5.8.0-1 kernel. After exploring the problem and not finding anyway to even start the KDE environment from within the CLI login, I rebooted and discovered that under the advanced boot options there was the option of booting with the 5.7.9-1 default kernel which works just fine. Candidly can’t figure out what has gone wrong with the 5.8.0-1 default install , saw nothing relevant in a Google search, and would greatly appreciate some input as to what the problem could be. FWIW, I have been using Tumbleweed for about the last 18 months and this is the real problem that I have encountered that couldn’t be resolved with a little thought and research

Software summary for successful graphical boot:

KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.4 KDE Framework version: 5.73.0 Qt version: 5.15.0 Kernel version 5.7.9-1 default PS Type: 64 bit

Hardware summary:

Intel I7-4770S @ 3.1GHz Memory: 31.3 GiB RAM Graphics Processor: GeForce GTX750 Ti

Many thanks
