Hello there, Gentoo beginner here. I have very simple question/problem which includes about SDDM. I did fresh install of Gentoo and installed KDE Plasma via profiles on OpenRC system and added things to the OpenRC services, SDDM appears but there is only desktop environment that is shows as "XSession". Logging in causes SDDM to restart. What can I do about that? Thank you so much.

Edit: sddm-kcm is already installed

Hello Shimijda,

setting the profile is not enough. Did you emerge kde-plasma/plasma-meta ?

Hello rtx,

I did "emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --newuse @world" after selecting the profile and it actually compiled so many things. Doesn't this mean it installed KDE Plasma profile?

Kind regards.

I did new install recently. To get sddm login screen I did rc-update add sddm default. Maybe missed that from the kde installation guide or is it there?
