What’s that? Tried looking it up on Arch repos (https://archlinux.org/packages/?q=plasma-desktop-manager) but no package with that name shows up.

Edit: Did you maybe mean Plasma Login Manager (the new SDDM replacement)?

this exacxtly.. strangely it defaults to X11 session :wink:

KCM settings are working too:

Here we go !

For those of you that use better blur , the update removes the option in system settings to use better blur, and disabled it at my end. If you encounter the same problem, clean building better blur solved it for me.

I have to rebuild with every Plasma update. I always remember when I’ve rebooted and can’t see anything clearly!
