 Posted: Wed Apr 13, 2016 11:06 am Post subject: KDE5 upgrade and SDDM not loading |
 |
|
Hi,
I've done the upgrade from kde4 to plasma 5 but sddm doesn't want to get up! I have a black screen and can't do nothing.
In /var/log/sddm.log i notice that it writes:
| Code: |
Greeter session started succesfully
Message received from greeter: Connect
[PAM] Ended.
Auth: sddm-helper exited with 6
Greeter stopped
|
I removed all kde-base and kde-apps packages, re-emerged plasma-meta, xorg-x11 and drivers but nothing works..what to do?
Thanks in advance |

| Re-emerging KDE packages rarely solves anything when SDDM is involved. Add the sddm user to the video group. |

| Do you have an /etc/sddm.conf? I've also heard xinerama in xorg.conf leads to such problems. |

I have already done
| Code: |
sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf
|
and i don't use xorg.conf (i use integrated intel video card), and it doesn't work..it's always showing black screen. |

(if you use openrc) consolekit and dbus are in default runlevel?
You don't by chance, try to log into the Plasma (Wayland) session? Because that most likely won't work.
One issue that has also come is SDDM being broken after Qt upgrade - however for that it must have been present on your system prior to Qt-5.5.1 upgrade already. |

Yes, dbus and consolekit are already in default runlevel. I have XDM and i have set
| Code: |
DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm"
|
in
and xdm is in default runlevel.
I don't know what you mean by
| Code: |
try to log into the Plasma (Wayland) session?
|
.
I always tried xdm start or sddm |

| You can choose the session you want to log in from SDDM using a drop-down. It should be the regular "Plasma" session, _not_ "Plasma (Wayland)". |

Oh sorry, I misinterpreted it then. Anyway, what about SDDM itself, did it get emerged by your Plasma upgrade or was it present before already? /me hints at possible Qt upgrade problem.
Anything in Xorg.log? |

First, I tried with ssdm installed with plasma-meta, then i reinstalled myself but none of them worked.
In Xorg.log everything seems fine! |

| I had a similar problem after the upgrade. Just to get past it, I temporarily set DISPLAYMANAGER back to KDM (which was still installed) and was able to get a Plasma 5 session running. I then went to the Systemsettings startup options and updated the SDDM settings there. After that, SDDM worked fine. |

yes everything.
I think there is something wrong in my installation I tried to use kdm and I got a strange message from my X session about "ksmserver" missing or something....
I am on line with my second gentoo installation now i have to update it, then I will try again.
Thank you anyway |

I have the very same log in sddm.log
I reemerged @world, emerged some of kde-apps utilities (like admin, graphics..) still can't log in, I'm blocked.
I use intel graphics, i have sddm in video group, i followed the guide and the logs don't tell anything useful..what to do? |

| Your user isn't involved when SDDM doesn't even load. Even if you want to go with SDDM eventually, it can't hurt to see if it would actually work with lightdm, no? |

This is going to sound stupid but are you sure you have KDM disabled from startup? In fact it probably makes sense to just remove it.
Sorry if it's obvious but sometimes people do make these silly mistakes. I did it once (or twice, three times ... lol) myself. :/
Also in the past some people delayed sddm startup by about 30 seconds to get around a bug (which was supposed to be fixed) :
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553996
It might be worth giving it a shot to see what happens. There is a timer provided for systemd. If using openrc there is probably also a way to do it I'm sure. |

I don't have kdm anymore, in /etc/conf.d/xdm i have
| Code: |
DISPLAYMANAGER="sddm"
|
In the bug showed in
https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=553996
the log clearly says that there is an error connecting to display
| Code: |
sddm-greeter[382]: QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display :0
|
in my case i don't have this error. I tried reemerging @world putting egl and gles2 use flags but nothing changed.. |

Installed qtcore 5, tried clearing some configurations, tried giving sddm:sddm permission to /usr/share/sddm but it doesn't work.
I don't know why but only one time it showed me the cross-shaped pointer, then only black screens.
If i give "startx" from command line, i can see XDM so i suppose X works...please help me, sddm is the standard with kde so it have to work! |

In my case a black screen (laptop, hybrid gfx=culprit?) means no backlight.
KDM works perfectly for me too. I also got the same behaviour as sddm when trying lightdm.
The first machine I upgraded with intel gfx it works fine. |
