I’ve attached a literal screen shot of all systemd errors. It seems to be caused by kscreenlocker_greet because of a missing shared object file. The boot 9 hours ago was from a read-only snapshot, and therefore doesn’t have it.
I have already tried updating with zypper dup, but that did not help.
Error as text:
PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib64/security/pam_pkcs11.so): /usr/lib64/security/pam_pkcs11.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Yum has the ability to search for and install plugins like that with
yum providesandyum whatprovidesand I’d be surprised if Suse didn’t port it or create something similar.Install
pam_pkcs11package, which contains the missing libraryCan’t you roll back to a snapshot before the update that broke it? Then you can wait with updating for a week or two, in hopes that it gets fixed in the next Tumbleweed update…
That’s what I’ve been doing for the past 2 days
Oh, you don’t have to always boot anew from the read-only snapshot.
When you’re booted into the working read-only snapshot, run
sudo snapper rollbackand then do a normal reboot.This will make that read-only snapshot your new (read-writable) system state. So, after doing this, your OS will be as if you never applied that update.

Oh, that makes sense.
I tried it, and ran it in the latest broken snapshot and was surprised why it didn’t roll back to a previous version 😅.
EDIT: It appears that didn’t work and instead overrode my working snapshot.
EDIT 2: Yep, it’s gone. I only have snapshots of me trying to fix it by updating.
@qaz Install pam_pkcs11 package, which contains the missing library
Thanks! I’ll try that
EDIT: It did not help, I’ll look into it tomorrow
