Nothing gets displayed though.

Not sure what its checking for locale (this occurs working or not). Running locale as root gives:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"

Updated. Could you test again?

solarisfire commented on 2024-03-05 11:50 (UTC)

It's still got a cursor, and a random prompt in the top left of the screen though, on both machines...

Getting a black screen on both my Arch desktop and my Arch laptop since installing the latest build...

What's the guidance here? Any easy fix?

PKGBUILD fetches the latest commit from the develop branch

thibaulltt commented on 2024-03-05 09:09 (UTC)

Regarding edtoml's comment, the layer-shell problem could also be caused by your SDDM config file. I remember the archwiki page on SDDM would at some point in the past suggest adding GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell to the configuration file for Wayland sessions. Removing/commenting this line allows SDDM to boot properly under Wayland using Qt5/Plasma5.

thibaulltt commented on 2024-03-05 09:06 (UTC)

SDDM's develop branch has been updated to remove all distro-specific PAM files. This fixes an issue where the sddm-helper cannot authenticate with PAM (see https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1881). The fix was merged with https://github.com/sddm/sddm/pull/1856 late yesterday.

I would suggest updating the version pulled by the PKGBUILD, but it seems to already pull in the latest develop commits? How does that work, does the version you get depend on when you install the AUR package?

If you build 0.21 with

yay --editmenu -S sddm-git

and change

-DBUILD_WITH_QT6=ON to -DBUILD_WITH_QT6=OFF

you will get a version that works with plasma5, think a rebuild with qt6 will be a good idea when plasma6 moves to stable in a few weeks.

edtoml commented on 2024-02-27 14:40 (UTC) (edited on 2024-02-28 13:55 (UTC) by edtoml)

looks like sddm-git is using qt6. sddm-git is not requiring all the (qt6) packages it needs. If you look in journalctl -b you will see a coredump for sddm-greeter-qt6 missing layer-shell (package layer-shell-qt). Installing it from kde unstable does not fix things here - other packages are missing... Think I will stick to 0.20 till kde updates to plasma6. I have created a bug for this (#519) upstream.

Version 0.21.0.0-g63780fcd is also faulty here, black screen with blinking white bar. reverting to 0.19 also worked here. Waiting for updates/fixes
