I have been running KDE5/Plasma for quite while so far with no problems. Today I left my computer updating - there was a lot of QtXXX-5.6.1 to update - and when I got back I saw a black screen saying the locker had crashed and I would need to go to a terminal and type "loginctl session-unlock" to be able to unlock the session. Well, there was no loginctl command available. I thought my compilation was still going on, but after looking at my CPU usage I noticed the session had crashed completely. So, I tried
Code:
/etc/init.d/xdm restart


And got a black screen, no X was running. I thought of recompiling SDDM, but it did not help either. I got a message saying
Quote:
/lib64/security/pam_system.so not found


WTH! I've never installed Systemd on my computer, I checked my profile and it was the way it has always been

Are you guys having the same problem? Or, have I done something wrong in this last update?

I had to move back to qtXXX-5.5.1(-r1) so I could get my Plasma desktop back running.
Any thoughts?

SDDM is not involved here.

Pro tip: Don't do Qt upgrades from inside your Plasma session.

@genstorm,

Except for a glitch or two (dolphin/kterm not starting while update is going on), I never had any big problem updating Qt libraries while running KDE at the same time. And everything would get itself fixed after a reboot. This was the first time such mess happened to me, and I have been a Gentoo/KDE user since 2004!

I get that SDDM has nothing to do with this problem but Qt5.6.1, so why after installing all of the following packages and rebooting I couldn't get my Plasma session back to work?

Quote:
dev-qt/qtcore-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtxml-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtnetwork-5.6.1
dev-qt/qttest-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtconcurrent-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtpaths-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtxmlpatterns-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtsql-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtdbus-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtgui-5.6.1
dev-qt/qdbus-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtwidgets-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtx11extras-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtdeclarative-5.6.1-r1
dev-qt/qtsvg-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtscript-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtopengl-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtimageformats-5.6.1
dev-qt/qtgraphicaleffects-5.6.1


From the suggested list of updates what was left behind was
Quote:
dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.6.1 [5.5.1-r1]
dev-qt/qtquickcontrols-5.6.1 [5.5.1-r1]
dev-qt/qtprintsupport-5.6.1 [5.5.1]
media-libs/phonon-4.9.0 [4.7.2] ABI_X86="32%* (64%*) (-x32)"
media-libs/phonon-vlc-0.9.0 [0.7.2]
kde-frameworks/frameworkintegration-5.21.0
kde-apps/kde-wallpapers-15.08.3-r2 [15.08.3]


Does any of the above packages would fix the mess caused by the Qt5.6.1 in my OpenRC environment? If so, I'll give a try, else Qt-5.6.1 is broken.

That is new information to me. Your first post sounded like it happened within your session, which does happen. Qt-5.6.1 is not broken, it should work a lot better than 5.5.1. Perhaps your system crashed in between building and you ended up with only a partial Qt 5.6.1 install?

@genstorm

I've checked in the /vat/tmp/portage and the only package left there was dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.6.1, so I think is safe to assume all other packages previously installed were done properly. Unless login session does need one of those packages left behind like qtwebkit (hard to think it is related), kde-frameworks/frameworkintegration-5.21.0, or dev-qt/qtquickcontrols-5.6.1. What puzzles me most is the fact that pam_systemd.so not found. I have never installed Systemd in that computer.

IIRC preceeding such a line with "-" suppresses an error message

When I recently upgraded from KDE 4 to Plasma 5.5.5 in Gentoo Stable (with OpenRC, not systemd) I had that message too:

Code:
Jul 17 04:32:37 clevow230ss sddm-helper[3245]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib64/security/pam_systemd.so): /lib64/security/pam_systemd.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jul 17 04:32:37 clevow230ss sddm-helper[3245]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib64/security/pam_systemd.so

and all I got was a black screen instead of the SDDM greeter. Despite having followed the upgrade instructions in the Gentoo Wiki and trying everything in the Gentoo Wiki to get SDDM to work, I had no success, so I switched to LightDM which works fine: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7947104.html#7947104

You can safely ignore the pam_systemd.so message.

I'm having the exact same issue as you.

Upgraded yesterday from plasma 5.5 to 5.6 as well as kde-frameworks to 5.23.
This, in turn, upgraded qt from 5.5 to 5.6.

Some packages have been re-emerged by portage (no obvious reason, I haven't seen any new flag added) like: sddm, nvidia-drivers, systemd.

Since then: sddm shows a black screen only.

I am running Gentoo Linux with profile: default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd with an nvidia card.
sddm worked well until now.

I checked the common stuff:

Code:
 $ groups sddm
video sddm


Code:
 $ ls -dla /var/lib/sddm/
drwxr-xr-x 4 sddm root 4096 10 avr 00:54 /var/lib/sddm/


Code:
$ sudo eselect opengl list
Available OpenGL implementations:
  [1]   nvidia *
  [2]   xorg-x11

Check that /etc/sddm.conf exists and remove any mention of gles* in your USE flags, should there be any.

I forgot to mention that /etc/sddm.conf already existed, I created it initially with:

Code:
sddm --example-config > /etc/sddm.conf


I checked the output of that command and diff'ed the result with my current /etc/sddm.conf and they are still identical.

I haven't added a gles/gles2 flag to my config, except for media-libs/mesa where "gles2" was used. I don't remember why I did that in the past, but I think it was to fix the "blank screen" issue I had at that time.

I already removed that flag and recompiled mesa and rebooted, but I keep having a black screen.

Using lightdm doesn't solve the issue, same black screen. I also tried to start "X" with startx, but there I have a black screen as well.

Some suspicious (EE) lines from my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

When using "startx", I've had the following output, suggesting issues with dbus:

This makes me think that the problem is not at sddm level, but rather somewhere between systemd, Qt and Xorg...

Nope, I did that too and also tried with eselect qtgraphicssystem set to "native" but I came back to "raster (default)", no results :(

Follow up. I've tried this weekend again and this time all worked just fine. I did notice that this time more packages came along, including sddm-kcm. Anyways, this time it went through without major issues.
