[KDE neon 6.3] I have to wait for the login screen to black out and reappear before logging in

I start my computer ;
The loading screen appears ;
The login screen appears (but logging in will not work) ;
The screen turns black with underscore ;
The login screen reappears (logging in will finally work) ;
I'm logged in.

It has been like that for a while, I expected this bug to be found & fixed eventually, but after running an update today, it still hasn't, which is why I'm now posting here.

So, when the login screen first appears :

either I have time to type my password & press enter, but afterwards the login screen still disappears then reappears as if I never tried to log in ;
or I'm still typing the password while it disappears then it reappears as if I never started typing ;
or I wait for it to disappear & reappear, and only then I can finally log in.

What to do ?

Thank you

Do the login screens look different from one another?

As far as I know KDE Neon isn't really meant as a daily driver. A different distribution would probably be more stable.

Nope

KDE Neon isn't really meant as a daily driver

Why not ? It's Plasma and KDE apps on a Ubuntu LTS base with none of Canonical's crap.

And all KDE apps work on it, while other distros running KDE don't necessarily support all KDE apps, especially Discover.

I don't see any contradiction here. As long as you're using the user edition, you're still using a tested distro.

Plus, except for Ubuntu, no Debian-based distro ships Plasma 6 (Tuxedo doesn't count because Neon-based).

Well, distros that say "is stable" and don't say "there might be some teething problems" still have problems, so this is average. Just because I was warned doesn't mean I can't talk about an issue...

Yes, but you should bring this up on the KDE forums and/or the place where you submit bug reports, because this is related to a relatively unstable OS with new features that are still not “perfect”, so improvement is needed, and the problem you have might help them.

Which distros are approved to talk about here then ?

notanapple@lemm.ee · 1 pts · 1y (8 replies)

are you using any sddm themes? splash screens?

Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).

are you using any sddm themes? splash screens?

Nope, all default.

Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).

I'm guessing you don't want the last few lines, what am I looking for ?

Not sure tbh but probably anything around the time you experience the issue. Check the time when the issue occurs, then look at the logs from around that time for any errors warnings. That should at least give you a clue.

Hi,

Did you get a chance to look at my logs ?

Thank you

sorry I was really busy this week, didnt have time to look into this.

The issue seems to happen in qt6 xcb so you could try switching sddm to run on wayland, which might bypass the issue (from Arch wiki):

Create the file /etc/sddm.conf.d/10-wayland.conf with the following content:

[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
GreeterEnvironment=QT_WAYLAND_SHELL_INTEGRATION=layer-shell

[Wayland]
CompositorCommand=kwin_wayland --drm --no-lockscreen --no-global-shortcuts --locale1

This requires layer-shell-qt to be installed, preferably versions 6.x which kde neon probably has in their repos (its on 5.x on base ubuntu).

Other than that, on sddm's issue repo I found two similar issues: #1761 and #1468, though both have no resolutions yet.

Also, I just noticed : the issue does not occur when disabling secure boot.

KaKi87@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 1y

So, I tried this, and got a blank scren, I had to press Ctrl-Alt-F2 to log in, delete the file and reboot to go back to the initial state.

No logs appeared at boot and the logs app didn't reveal anything either.

As for the package, it was already installed : 6.3.4-0zneon+24.04+noble+release+build26

Do you have multiple monitors? My laptop behaves in a similar fassion when the screens turn off from inactivity and i want to log back in. I have 2 monitors attached that take different amounts of time to wake up and each time sddm rearranges the screens.

The login prompt is "per screen" and gets erased when a display is attached (or wakes up)

KaKi87@jlai.lu · 1 pts · 1y

Nope, just the laptop monitor.
