mh, really no clue what you done with your system.

take a look to the log files, like xorg.log
and
systemctl status sddm

journalctl -b | grep sddm

apt policy
inxi -r

what you can try is, all in getty/tty (ctrl+alt+Fn) as root

Code: [Select]
systemctl stop sddm.service
then
systemctl start sddm.service

or/and
Code: [Select]
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
then
systemctl isolate graphical.target

Aber wie gesagt, da ist etwas gewaltig faul und so wie es scheint kann nur ein Wunder oder eine  Neuinstallation das System retten

Ich streiche die Segel, sorry!

Hello and thank you


I have found the reason but I can not explain.

Inside a different computer everything is going fine.

Same disk!

Sddm ist working there and systemsettings too.

Is there a way to reinstall the whole system of the grafic-card?

I tried a  X -config  but that did not bring the right result.


Regards

mh, maybe you can use the modestting driver by renaming the xorg.conf to xorg.conf~ or the 20-intel.conf to 20-intel.conf~
you have to look what you have, both con be found in /etc/X11 or /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, after renaming restart the laptop.

Then it should look like that
inxi -Gx
Code: [Select]
Graphics:  Device-1: Intel Core Processor Integrated Graphics vendor: Lenovo driver: i915 v: kernel bus ID: 00:02.0
           Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.8 driver: modesetting unloaded: fbdev,vesa resolution: 1440x900~60Hz
           OpenGL: renderer: Mesa DRI Intel HD Graphics (ILK) v: 2.1 Mesa 20.0.6 direct render: Yes

If it doesn't work, rename  them again and restart the system.

The 1st thing, i would try, is intel_iommu=off as bootparameter.

Hello and thank you

Everything ist fixed.

What I did:

I started siduction from a usb-stick and looked for the settings of Xorg in
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ while siduction was booted from the stick.
I examined /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ and /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ while the system was running from the stick.
I saw that there was neither in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ or /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ a file named 20-intel.conf.

So I rebooted from the disk and deleted in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ the file
20-intel.conf

(in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ the file 20-intel.conf did not exist)

(@ thank you very much hendrikL for the hint)
and rebooted.

Everything is working again:

SDDM
Systemsettings
vlc

and so on.

Thank you very much to all of you for your great help.


Regards
