Since this morning, after boot, I am stuck in text mode.
When I type “startx”, it fails: see xorg log here and a screen cap here.
The most strange is that under root, “startx” works and normaly goes in graphical interface. I am writing from the root gui mode (which I do not like).
I already made a “zypper dup”: same problem. I also created a new user: “startx” fail in the same way for this new user…
Can someone give me a hint to recover the normal behaviour?
Many thanks.

You know, I am not good at reading such journals, but I do not see anything alaming. It is worth posting the very long journal?
Moreover, every partition seems properly mouned, everything seems normal.
34.605] (WW) xf86OpenConsole: VT_ACTIVATE failed: Operation not permitted
34.605] (EE)
Fatal server error:
34.605] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Switching VT failed
(from the Xorg log)
I would suggest trying to boot the previous kernel, and/or reinstall nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default.
sudo zypper in -f nvidia-gfxG03-kmp-default
Or maybe adding your user to the “video” group would help, but that shouldn’t be necessary.
Btw, startx doesn’t work as normal user, that’s normal.
X doesn’t have necessary privileges then, in particular creating the log file will fail.
This could be “workarounded” by setting the Xorg executable suid root (as the message tells you), but that’s considered to be a security risk.
