Does adding the following kernel parameter have any effect?

random.trust_cpu=on

@jasonwryan all the journal showed for sddm was

The service status is still running and the ps output confirmed that but it never starts X.

No, unfortunately, it ended up the same. I added it to the end of the linux section in the kernel parameters. Its so odd, it just sits there until I login from the main terminal and then it loads. Its as is the login GUI for plasma is never being called. Any other ideas?

Sorry, didn't even see your post on the first page. I've never used this forum before now, how do you set a topic to be solved?

You mark your thread as [Solved] by editing your first post and prepending it to the title.
