Graphics card details and desktop environment would be useful.

inxi -GSaz

If you need to share the console output here via another machine, you can redirect the output to a file eg inxi -GSaz > inxi.txt, and then transfer the captured output to a USB storage device.

Identify the USB storage device with lsblk

Create a mount point…
sudo mkdir /mnt/usb

Then mount the relevant storage partition. For example, /dev/sdb1…
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb

Copy the files as required.

When finished, unmount with sudo umount /mnt/usb

The graphics card is an Ivy Bridge (Intel HD Graphics 4000) integrated GPU…circa 2012?

Ok, so booting up into recovery (single) mode yields a working KDE desktop (X11 session)? In this mode, a minimal graphical environment is in use (Mesa is using llvmpipe, a CPU-based OpenGL renderer).

If you boot in multi-user mode, do you get presented with a working graphical (login) display manager? Can you get a working Plasma Wayland session, or is that broken too?

yes, in recovery mode all is working fine.
i tape my password in the termnal mode and after pressing CTRL +D i have acces to my grpahical session.

in default mode i have no access to the login page, the boot freeze at the transition stage between start and login page.

hope that is clear. Anyway many thanks for your support

Hi,

The action gives : “Failed to load SELinux policy”
