I’ve had this problem for months now, and I can’t figure out what’s going on.
Basically any time I log in quickly (which happens frequently, as my password is just 8 chars), SDDM either fails to start the desktop environment, or it does and everything looks fine, until I experience some random freezes.
Last time this happened I opened a tty and collected logs, which I’m attaching.
There’s a thread in the nixos community discussing something similar: SDDM crashes to tty after quick login · Issue #292980 · NixOS/nixpkgs · GitHub
I even tried switching from SDDM to lightDM, but while I never experience a “back to login manager” situation like I sometimes to with SDDM, my session when started from lightDM is kinda glitchy for different reasons, with flatpaks failing to launch because of some issue with the system dbus socket.
So it seems like I’m stuck with SDDM cause lightDM isn’t much better for me, but I’d like to understand what’s going on, and could use some guidance to decode my logs.
Can anybody help, please?
