by the way, the log generated by ‘journalctl -b -0’ seems too long and i can upload here.
what else log should I offer?

Maybe check this out to see if it helps.

What was changed in your system before this happens? Check recently upated packages (/var/log/pacman.log)
After a fresh (re)boot, try to login from SDDM. When/if it fails, login from TTY and before you run plasma command, grab login messages in a file.

journalctl --user -b -p3 --no-pager --no-hostname > loginfailed.log

Then start plasma and repeat

journalctl --user -b -p3 --no-pager --no-hostname > logintty.log

Post log files ($HOME/loginfailed.log and $HOME/logintty.log)

Also, try to relogin after you have disconnected the external monitor.

I don’t know if you did this, but go to tty and reinstall plasma. Maybe some update broke a dependency for plasma. Just type sudo pacman -S plasma and then reboot. And make sure you use the plasma x11 option.

I just clean up the ~/.xprofile and this problem seems to be solved.
(I added “source ~/.zshrc” before)
