So, for now I have seemingly gotten grub listings back online. And the problem of TW slowness remains, as it has been. Ran a zypper dup, got 17 upgrades, rebooted; same problem.
From the Factory list serve about similar “log in blackness thread,” the suggestion that “sddm_qt6” “solved his problem” got me to check displaymanager.
sudo update-alternatives --list default-displaymanager
[sudo] password for root:
/usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/console
/usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/lightdm
/usr/lib/X11/displaymanagers/xdm
I thought we had run through this at the beginning of this thread and that there were 3 or 4 of them installed, and one of them selected?? Can’t tell from this data which one is working, but if I were to try to get to “sddm_qt6” would that be a matter of running, “sudo zypper in sddm_qt6” as distinct from your basic “sudo zypper in sddm” that I thought I ran at some point in the recent history of TW maintenance?
It did seem like there was a display manager that wasn’t getting to the GUI at all, and then the present one did get there . . . albeit slowly. [one use of ellipsis for proper use of English language]
The intermittent boot times for various apps doesn’t seem to point to displaymanager, or does it?? Firefox boots quickly, console does not, etc.
Question is whether I can run the “zypper in sddm_qt6” via console and then switch over, OR whether I need to use YaSt to search for the various sddm options and find the one that says “qt6”?? to get it installed??
