At first Instead of my SDDM I would just see an after image of what was last displayed on screen. But if I typed in my password and pressed enter, it would let me in just fine. Then after following some suggestions from users in r/Kubuntu I’ve made a bit of progress. Now when I boot up my computer instead of the SDDM being invisible, it now doesn’t load at all, from there I switch to tty3 then back to tty2 and then log in through the terminal. After that I run startplasma-wayland and then I have access to my desktop. The post where all this went down - https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1nvreuo/sddm_not_rendering/

Does anyone know a fix? I would like to be able to see my login screen.

Here’s my specs in case that would help - https://i.imgur.com/XtC43zw.png

And here’s my journalctl output after booting and launching plasma - https://pastebin.com/nnGsWebd

    You use the same linux install (cloned) for a decade? Thats wild. I just install and document my changes so its not much to do for a reinstall. So for some it works, for some not. OP might be like me, thus my answer has a right to exist! Maybe you could stop correcting others for being different.

      Yep. And it still works without hickups. It lived on 2 desktops and 2 laptops now. Rolling releases are great, I update weekly.

      With debian based stuff, I reinstalled twice a year because back then every dist upgrade would break my setup and it became completely unusable if it booted at all.

      This goes both ways. In your initial comment you took a onesided position and all I wanted was to show the other side. I don’t mean to imply that “my” side is the only one. Sorry if it came of that way.

      Cheers mate!
