Hi - I kinda suspect a recent batch of update did not go well with one of my computers and my efforts to research and figure out what has gone wrong are failing, so once again I am in need of the assistance of the openSuSE/KDE gurus... I am running openSuSE 42.2 x64, my displaymanager is set to sddm and my windowmanager is set to kde4. My system is booting up OK and all of my system services run fine, the only thing wrong is that I do not get a login screen, or a desktop. It simply comes up with a black screen. I can do a CTRL-ALT F3 to bring up a single shell console but so far no joy in getting my desktop or any graphical process to work. FWIW my video is built in to my motherboard and is the Intel HD Graphics 530. 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 [ 547.067] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. [ 547.067] (EE) Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section. [ 547.067] (EE) [ 547.067] (EE) Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs for all framebuffer devices [ 547.067] (EE) and in the warn log I found the following ominous messages that also don't seem to bod well... 2017-07-18T13:34:37.744641-07:00 bigbang sddm-helper[3034]: Could not open stderr to ".xsession-errors" 2017-07-18T13:34:37.946289-07:00 bigbang sddm[2949]: Auth: sddm-helper exited with 11 2017-07-18T13:34:39.707022-07:00 bigbang systemd-coredump[3040]: Process 3034 (sddm-greeter) of user 483 dumped core. There is a .xsessions-errors file in my home directory. In my efforts to resolve this, I did try fooling around with different display and window managers but so far no joy getting anything that resembles a graphical desktop. With some combinations I did get a popup dialog saying - could not start kdeinit5. check the installation but clicking on the OK button to dismiss the dialog simply results in a black/blank screen. So this is where I have gotten to... Googling is showing me lots of people are having similar/related problems on other distros, but no joy so far in finding a solution or anything relevant to exactly what I am experiencing... Thanks again in advance for any and all offers to help and I will be happy to provide any additional info, log files, config files etc...
