Howdy,
I think the problem is well known.
Tumbleweed with KDE it is.
When I try to login a freeze occurs. I can move my mouse cursor but nothing else.
It just freezes. Solution ist a hard reset via power button.
Is a patch or something like that available?
The problem exists for a long time with many any versions of opensuse… I think it started with version 12.
Well, it might be a well known problem to you however …
i have never seen this “problem” on any of my machines. Even this one
Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20211107
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.87.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.14.14-1-default (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-7820HK CPU @ 2.90GHz
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 630
NVIDIA Corporation GP106M [GeForce GTX 1060 Mobile]
which has an (sometimes flaky) OPTIMUS-setup works fine.

In view of some of your other problems… A fresh install might not go amiss, to ensure that all that is intended to be installed, is installed.
Alternatively:
Are you using “X” or “Wayland”? - Wayland is still very much a “work in progress” and, AFAIK is not that reliable when partnered with KDE. (Although others may disagree on that point).
Have you checked the journal for any relevant entries relating to the failed login?
Test with a new user - same problem?
Try using a different DM, lightdm for example - same problem?
As an aside: I’m a long time user of openSUSE and KDE, on the whole it’s proved to be remarkably stable.
No it is not just me.
Here are some threads. some older, some newer.
It sems to be a KDE Problem ever since
I read threads dealing with tumbleweeds especially.
I am sorry that I am unable at the moment to find them…
…although they exist.

thanks anyway for your help susejunky
Hey tannington,
sorry for the late reply
I did a fresh install. Still don´t know what happened.
now it seems stable.
Thank you anyway for your comment.
On Topic: I used mainly X
but the freeze occurred with wayland as well
I appreciate every help:)
Can be caused by lack of disk space ie tmp full or other.
