Solved sddm crash

P

Paul Floyd

I just did a quarterly pkg upgrade (on 11 Oct 2022). After that sddm/kde5 is failing. It gets as far as switching to a higher res with a smaller mouse pointer, then stops with a black screen. No sddm login. This was working previously.

/var/log/sddm.log contains
Code: 
[08:07:30.961] (II) DAEMON: Greeter session started successfully

Nvidia drivers:
Code: 
nvidia-driver-390-390.151      NVidia graphics card binary drivers for hardware OpenGL rendering
nvidia-settings-470.86         Display Control Panel for X NVidia driver
nvidia-xconfig-470.86          Tool to manipulate X configuration files for the NVidia driver
The video card is a GT 730:
Code: 
nvidia0: <GeForce GT 730> on vgapci0
Any ideas?

I get a similar message if I log in to Wayland. Could the default session have changed after upgrading?
I have a freshly installed FreeBSD 13.1 amd64 running Intel.
 
Maybe your default session is Wayland. Try to change settings .
I have sometimes a crash in the plasma X11 session but a working mouse and krunner (alt+F2) then I simply type plasmashell in krunner to restore the desktop
