Hi.
After performing a zypper dist-update to release 20200414 from 20200408 KDE plasma no longer comes up on my laptop. I do not get a login screen. TTY7 now just hangs at “Started Locale Service”. I can login to TTY1-6 but need a GUI. Prior to the dist-update things were fine. Curious if anyone else is experiencing this issue or what I can do to triage. Alternatively if someone knows of a command where I can force start Plasma that would be great too. Thanks.
You can login root on tty2 to run
journalctl -b
where you should be able to find error messages about SDDM, your probable GUI login greeter gone AWOL due to the upgrade.
If as root or using sudo you first run
chmod 4711 /usr/bin/Xorg
then as normal user you might be able to get Plasma to run without SDDM:
WINDOWMANAGER=startplasma-x11 startx -- :1
I have same problem.
In my desktop, I have sddm with autologin and start OK but in my laptop, only show a black screen (with mouse pointer).
Login with root, ps aux | grep sddm show sddm process and X process.
Login in another tty with my user and startx show my plasma desktop ok but not working some services like energy control (said than no battery!) or network (wifi not working but eth0 yes).
I’m checking in my desktop and show a lot of services with problems.
I’m thinking that this problems are around root user. Example:
fasiko@fskdesktop:~> ping google.com

Both systems are up to date (zypper dup)
The crux of it is reported here…

These indicate permissions errors as well…

Hi OP here. For whatever reason one day I turned on my laptop and voila I’ve been able to login. Going to performing a zipper-update again incase something was updated upstream to solidify the fix.
What do the following commands report?
strace -o ping.trace ping 8.8.8.8
ls -ld /
fasiko@fsknetbook:~> strace -o ping.trace ping 8.8.8.8
ping: socket: Operación no permitida
fasiko@fsknetbook:~> sudo strace -o ping.trace ping 8.8.8.8
ping: error while loading shared libraries: libcap.so.2: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

I needed to use my laptop so I rollback my btrfs root to 20200410 snapshot.
It booted ok. Later, I run zypper dup and I have my system up to date and without problems.
There is some way to know what packages was installed between 10/04 and 15/04??
My laptop is fine but my desktop still has this problem because I don’t rollback (I have ext4 to root fs).
You can look in “/var/log/zypp/history”. But I’m not sure whether that would have also been rolled back.
