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

    long shot, but do you have a thunderbolt device plugged in? I swear my thunderbolt display fucks with my system while booting, but it could just be a specific problem with my specific display

      Actually, I do have a thunderbolt device plugged in, but I have already ruled it out as a possible cause since the issue still persists even when the thunderbolt device is not plugged in.
