I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 with KDE on an HP Probook, and it has been working fine for 6 months. It seems, after an upgrade last week, I can no longer log in - or rather, it is as if I log in successfully, but I never get to see the desktop, and the login screen seems to be completely unresponsive, except that I can use CTL+ALT+F2 to get to a console. I can log in on the console and over ssh - when I log in as root over ssh, I initially see no processes belonging to my desktop user, then after I enter the correct password on the login screen:
