After a zypper up to TW 20160820, my login attempts all resulted in a frozen screen. The only thing alive was the mouse. All the buttons were dead. By accident, I found that if I switched to TTY and logged in, I could switch to the GUI and BANG! I was logged into Plasma 5. I then switched to a different login screen using System Settings and login seems to work fine.
I’ve only been using oS for a few months and realize I have a great deal to learn. Is there any further troubleshooting I should do and/or what logs would be helpful for a bug report?
First, use
zypper ref && zypper dup --no-allow-vendor-change
. “dup” because it’s Tumbleweed, the – option to avoid switching packages from Packman back to the openSUSE versions
Do this anyway
Still the same. Other login screens work fine, but the Breeze login freezes.
Fixed with 20160901 upgrade. I have no idea what the problem was.
I was wrong. Logged in successfully a couple of times then it failed and I reverted back to another log in screen.
Out of space???
Clear some snapshots
I don’t think so.

It only seems to be the Breeze login screen that freezes.
Solved with Plasma 5.8.0:)
