After recent update system doesn’t boot into graphics mode. It stops booting when it’s time to show kdm login window. But at least console is working. Related lines from /var/log/messages:
Jul 20 07:14:35 spider kdm: :0[4492]: Received unknown or unexpected command -2 from greeter
Jul 20 07:14:35 spider kdm: :0[4492]: Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 127, signal 0
yours sounds like maybe you updated to a new kernel while having a
proprietary graphics driver in use, and didn’t also change the driver to
mesh with the new kernel…but that is just a wild guess, not based
on facts you have, but have not shared with us…
change that by adding some information, please:
what is your operating system and version?
are you using software from the Tumbleweed project?
what was/were updated, and from what source(s)?
if you choose the Failsafe option on the first green screen, will the
system boot to a graphical environment? if so, please show us the
terminal input/output from:
zypper lr -d
uname -a
cat /etc/SuSE-release
kde4-config --version
/sbin/lspci -v | grep -i display
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep VGA -A2
copy/paste the in/output back to this thread using the instructions

Ok. Reinstalling kdm from console brought graphics back to life. Still get some warning in zypper install log:
# Warning: Do not know how to create missing GreeterUID user kdm
> # Warning: Do not know how to create missing GreeterUID user kdm
with the info given so far, these are all i can offer, the first is
highly relevant, the second may be helpful:

Probably the KDE session issue. To get around this: disable autologin, then in the login screen, select the “KDE Plasma Workspace” session and login. If autologin is disabled, something else is going on.
