After upgrade to kernel 4.14.10 or 4.14.13 mostly get black screen or splash screen with mouse cursor but then get no further.
Using intel 810 video driver.
When login gets to desktop on occasions, system will work for a short time, but often will freeze. Doing a Ctl-Alt-Delete will bring up a KSMServer crash handler dialog with seg fault 11.
Can get back to sddm login window with a Ctl-Alt-BackSpace x2 ..
Looking at journalctl -ab with unhappy 4.14.x I get this crash message sequence that I dont get in a good 4.9.56 login

I dont get any drkonqi messages on a 4.9.x login.
I suspect the plasmashell is failing and the ksmserver crash msg is a symptom of plasma not working when I try to exit....
Can anyone give suggestions on why this failure to get to desktop is happening in the new kernels ?
