--- Comment #2 from TraceyC <kdedev at tlcnet.info> ---
systemctl status sddm shows the service is enabled and running
The logs look normal, and indicate a session was opened for user sddm

Recategorizing as kwin for now since this might be a display related issue.


I'd like to ask a few questions to narrow down what might be causing this.

What appears on the screen when SDDM doesn't load? Do you see a mouse cursor at
all or just a black screen?

Does this happen if you try to log into a Wayland session or does it only
happen with X11?

Also, can you get journalctl logs beginning from the start of the login session
and going until just after sddm fails to load?

Thanks.
