I tried nomodeset and also disabled Plymouth but still black screen.
I habe a Dell Laptop XPS.
I performed my update from the iso-file I downloaded about 10 days ago. After booting from that file, I clicked on “Update” and the process went on without troubles. After rebooting, I got the black screen with the mouse pointer on it. Then I made a zypper dup, but same no change.
When I type:
