[KDE] System Freezes After Entering Password on Login Screen
When I try to log in, the beginning animation for logging in plays and then freezes indefinitely. The only way I am able to access my computer is by using
alt + f4, logging in, and running startplasma-wayland. Googling hasn't seemed to prove much help as most reported issues were specifically for Arch Linux and I haven't modified my system in many ways from stock.
The attached txt file is a partial ouput of journalctl -p 3 -xb. Many of the errors were duplicates or at least extremely similar.8 Replies
Are you using Nvidia with X11? There have been a bunch of issues for KDE users not being able to reboot and shutdown via the GUI with X11. Maybe the issue has extended to login issues
If you boot your previous image in Grub, does the issue persist?
It could be a config issue potentially, the sddm config files are stored in /etc/sddm.conf.d/
@wolfyreload I have that same KDE/Can't reboot/shutdown issue, is there an upstream issue I can track anywhere? (Nvidia, X11 here) I've also had some of the same symptoms as Fenn, with the occasional login session just "not" logging in - usually resolved by systemctl soft-reboot from a TTY
It's more likely that it will get fixed with the nvidia 555 driver when X11 is turned off and we can use Wayland instead. KDE have said that they will close any X11 related tickets, so I doubt they will fix it. You could try
bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 40-20240605 to jump back to an older version of Bazzite before this issue was first reported.
If you still have the issue then an older image bazzite-rollback-helper rebase 40-20240531.I might just roll with it as is for now, it's only an inconvenience, and I'll have a look around the KDE and SDDM trackers for bug reports.
I'm on Wayland with AMD, actually. And the issue persists regardless of image selection
My
/etc/sddm.conf.d/ directory is empty, including hidden files. sddm.conf is outside of that directory, just in /etc/, and it appears normal. I know that I haven't made any direct changes to it.That's a bit odd, my
/etc/sddm.conf is an empty file and I have a kde_settings.conf in /etc/sddm.conf.d/ that is holding the main config. I'll test to see if I can reproduce if I nuke the content of my /etc/sddm.conf.d/ folder in a VMhttps://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488187
that looks like my problem
