This is working with 4.11.12-200. With 4.12.8-200 the KDE login screen
is ok but progresses only to give two black screens (monitor and TV)
with a cursor that can be moved between them.

No one else has reported seeing this so I pursued it a bit further,
referring to a post on the KDE list by Rex Dieter a few months ago.
Alt/f2 brought up the 'runner' box; /usr/bin/plasmashell had no apparent
effect. dmesg showed a kernel bug report. I don't have the details.
dbg /usr/bin/plasmashell required a monster download-and-install, which
initially failed because of a qt5-related file conflict, resolved (?) by
rpm -e --nodeps. Then the dbg command ran, with no output shown. I
didn't go on with it and rebooted to 4.11.12-200, to get a persistent
error-report box which reappeared, with no useful details, after every
attempt to submit a report or close it. In other respects things seemed
normal.
I don't expect to be using, or near the keyboard of, that box for some
days - but something does seem wrong... - and Harald's views are known
to me.

You got nVidia 384.59 from updates-testing, yes? Could that be why others aren't
seeing it?

I can't check now, and could be mistaken, but I think I have the nVidia
packages that have just been pushed to stable. The original post was
intended as a 'heads up' warning, on installing the 4.12.8-200 kernel.

So, if there is a general problem it would seem to be with the updates to the kernel
+ the updates to nVidia.

It could be a selinux issue, see this commit
https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/nonfree/xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.git/commit/?i...
or maybe having nvidia-drm.modeset=1 enabled has killed kde as well :-)
https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4632
without any logs it's just a guess (why do users nearly always fail to include logs?).

Likely because they don't know how to get to the right log Leigh?

OK, thanks for the info, and your interest in the problem. I can't do
anything about it for a few days.
When something like this happens, my first priority is usually to
discover some way of getting back to a working system. Then I posted a
heads-up. Finding the right log, and a way to post it from an
arbitrarily broken box, isn't (fortunately) a typical user task.

It's good to be able to report that the problem has gone away.
