LEAP 42.1 upgraded from 13.2; Worked fine for about a week, then after password is accepted, a small command line interface with lavender background appears at top left. This command line responds to “startkde” correctly, and an apparently normal KDE session results, except only that the command line interface remains. Closing it puts me back to the login screen. Exiting KDE returns to the same command line, which again responds to “sudo shutdown _P now” correctly. Other observation: logging in as root seems to work correctly (KDE starts automatically). Tried that once for a few seconds. Questions: Why does KDE fail to start automatically upon login, and how can I fix it, and What did I do wrong to cause the problem?
Thanks.
