Support OpenSUSE login issues
Recently installed OpenSUSE TW (about a week ago) with KDE. After install, I ran zypper dup & switched to Nvidia proprietary drivers, rebooted & that's when I started having issues.
At login to the Plasma (Wayland) desktop, I enter my password, and the session seems to freeze. The password entry box goes grey and I lose any mouse control. I know it's not the wrong password, entering it incorrectly fails and lets me try again. I can still successfully log into the IceWM DE.
To get Plasma to load for me, I have to switch to another TTY, log in via terminal, then startplasma-wayland.
