I just installed Arch Linux on a VirtualBox machine, and I also decided to use Plasma for the desktop environment. When I boot it up, it brings me to the login page for Plasma, and I enter my password, and then it just sits at a black screen. I don't see the Plasma logo loading or anything, just a black screen.
I am able to press CTRL+ALT+F2 and get to the bash terminal. I don't know what the problem is. I tried installing GNOME as well, but the same thing happens right after I logged in (black screen). Sometimes, I see the mouse, other times, I cannot. I already tried renaming all of the ~/. files (cache, config, kde4, local) to ~/.<name>.old, still nothing. All of my packages are up to date as well as the system software.
I already enabled sddm. I already created a second user and tried to login on that user, still the same thing. I don't think it's a driver problem because it's running on VM. I have grub installed and my window manager already.
Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

How did you set up Arch on the guest? Did you follow ALL the steps in the Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Vi … nux_guests?

Yeah, I followed all the necessary steps (not any for setting up the keyboard).

Did you check any logs? Check the stickied post(s) for where to look, make sure to check the status of your services with journalctl.
Also check if your kernel modules are loaded on the guest:
lsmod | grep vboxOffline
