Black screen with cursor , fresh install

Hello , so I just have a new install of opensuse tumbleweed and when ever I try to use dark mode and then I restart my computer, the kde loading screen takes a while to load and when it finished I just get a black screen with my cursor .

This only happens if I try to use dark plasma theme , if I use the opensuse theme , (the default one ) it works fine and boots fine .

I already installed the libvulkan_intel but that didn’t fix it .

If someone can please help , I’ve never had this issue before with any distro .

It may matter which GPU you have. Please provide input/output from running command

inxi -GSaz

from Konsole. You may need to install inxi first.

I strongly doubt that being useful. GPU issues are not theme related.

Try this when it happens:

  • Hit Ctrl+Alt+F2
  • Login with your username and password
  • Do sudo systemctl enable --now sddm.service If that does not help,
  • Do sudo systemctl restart sddm.service

Report back what happens
