Hallo,
the System of my son does not boot to KDE anymore.
Its not 100% sure what he did but most likely it was an update and/or using the off-switch because an installer on steam froze (no, he will not do this again).
By now I’ve tried quite a few things. Updated the system, installed newer Kernel, that actually helped but its still stuck at boot after “Finished TLP System …”. Despite of that I think narrowed it down to nvidia drivers because of an log-entry in journalctl:
Nov 25 18:24:00 user kernel: NVRM: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 GPU installed in this system is
NVRM: supported through the NVIDIA 470.xx Legacy drivers. Please
NVRM: visit http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html for more
NVRM: information. The 495.44 NVIDIA driver will ignore
NVRM: this GPU. Continuing probe...
Nov 25 18:24:00 user kernel: NVRM: No NVIDIA GPU found.

removing video-nvidia does not work, since it has tons of dependencies.
I would be grateful if anyone has an idea.
