Following today’s patches and updates, KDE SDDM doesn’t present the login screen any more: I have to use the SysRq reboot to recover and then choose the Recovery Mode at the Boot screen to be able to login to a KDE session.
The packages updated/patched today were: libsolv-tools; python-solv; zypper-log; libzypp; zypper; zypper-aptitude; kernel-firmware; libsystemd0; libsystemd0-32bit; libudev1; messagelib; systemd-32bit; systemd-bash-completion; ucode-amd; wireless-regdb; messagelib-lang; systemd; udev; systemd-sysvinit; systemd-logger.
Haven’t yet worked out which one is causing the issue – will update later assuming that, no one else discovers the culprit …
The journal entry for the “bad” boot is:
