[SOLVED] kde plasma + sddm will not load gui

Hey there,
I'm a very newby concerning arch, it lasted 2 days for me to install arch big_smile and it now finally runs.
Yesterday I wanted to install plasma with sddm , running "startx" and "systemctl start sddm" works well, but when I enable sddm and reboot it will not load anything, I only see the booting posts.
After some researchs I was not able to find the problem at all...

Maybe there is someone in the forum, who can help me smile.

Please tell me what additional information you need.

Re: [SOLVED] kde plasma + sddm will not load gui

Then your research wasn't thorough enough, plenty of posts on the boards that mention that SDDM might be initialized early and that it can be worked around by setting up early KMS, like e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 5#p1749335

Re: [SOLVED] kde plasma + sddm will not load gui

Thank you for your hint.

- Created:  /etc/modules-load.d/radeon.conf     Containing: radeon

- Edited in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf  ---> MODULES=() to  MODULES=(radeon)

- mkinitcpio -p linux

- enabled sddm again and after reboot it works well

Thank you again.

No problem, please mark as solved by editing your first post and prepending [SOLVED] to the title.
