Two issues with 13.1

Hi guys,

I've ran into two issues, they may be related and as of now I cannot do anything in the GUI. Here is my configuration:

OS - Opensuse 13.1
Hardware - Lenovo T520 laptop, not a virtual machine

The first problem is similar to the issue seen here:
https://forums.opensuse.org/english/...it-online.html

I issued this command, which has helped speed up login a bit, but the issue persists:

# systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service

I see:
"A start job is running for Network Manager" and a red start going back and forth for at least 30 seconds, sometimes longer.

The second issue I have is that after logging in, I am only able to use my mouse. The KDE desktop or window manager never launches it seems. Thinking this could be user profile related, I created a second user, rebooted, but I get the same result. I am able to use my console logins via F1, F2, etc. to manage the system, just no GUI after logging in.

Can someone help advise me on these issues?
