I'm running Plasma with sddm. After updating I can't login

Thank you for this.

So, I wonder, is this something our EOS team will fix universally in a future update, or is this a user-specific fix? In other words, apply this now or wait for an EOS update?

A post was merged into an existing topic: KDE desktop start very slowly

Thanks - that worked for me.

I think I have the same issue, AMD system, after update stuck on sddm login.

Tried removing eos-sddm, nothing. What worked was removing all KDE and plasma folder and file form home, config and local. But still I am only able to log in X11, can’t get wayland to work.

You may replace SDDM with another DM, like lightdm, temporarily, or (better?) permanently.

EnvyControl (which this user needs) does not support other display managers besides GDM, SDDM and LightDM.

LightDM is case-insensitive when referenced :rofl:

28

I prefer the PascalCase version of the name, not the package name.

I wasn’t saying lightdm (LightDM) wasn’t supported.

edit: @Viera updated the solution to my post with this info.

On X11 it seems that it might just be breeze that is confused about which monitor it should work on.

If I set SDDM to Maldives or remove the theme in /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf
[Theme]
Current=

Then it works again as expected here.

Can confirm removing the package eos-plasma-sddm-config, i.e. removing 2 config files, does the trick but it would not probably be a long-term solution. Should we wait for any update of SDDM or eos-plasma-sddm-config? Or we could only change to another DM?

Thx for sharing that; it worked.

Somehow it borked my system. Although before I did remove and reinstall eos-plasma-sddm-config.

Was able to restore a backup.

Last update removed the file and gave me a black screen, restoring it was enough to fix the issue. There was a /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf.copy backup file but maybe it was from my tests.
Anyway renaming it to something else .conf should avoid it being overridden by other updages. The new file from the update was just this

❯ cat /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-endeavouros.conf
[Theme]
Current=eos-breeze
