Hey folks,
I recently upgraded my Dell Latitude E7440 laptop to the latest Tumbleweed release (4.6.2-1-Default) and the Gnome desktop is no longer working. Trying to perform some basic troubleshooting I ran SYSTEMCTL STATUS XDM.SERVICE and received the following response:
● display-manager.service - X Display Manager

Any thoughts as to how to get this fixed?
Thanks!
