KDE black screen after login ( Fresh Install)

Sddm loads but upon login into plasma 5 All that is there is a black screen with my cursor. Ctrl Alt T doesnt work, but Ctrl Alt F2 to go to live env works

I have installed Xorg and Intel graphics drivers

Re: KDE black screen after login ( Fresh Install)

I assume sddm.service is enabled. What is the output of systemctl status sddm.service?

Re: KDE black screen after login ( Fresh Install)

After a failed log in, switch to a VT and post

journalctl -b

via a pastebin: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Li … in_clients

FWIW if you have xf86-video-intel installed, try removing it.

It loos like your GPU crashes:

Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: i915 0000:00:02.0: GPU HANG: ecode 8:1:85dffffb, in Xorg [346]
Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: GPU hangs can indicate a bug anywhere in the entire gfx stack, including userspace.
Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: Please file a _new_ bug report at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/issues/new.
Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: Please see https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/drm/intel/-/wikis/How-to-file-i915-bugs for details.
Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: drm/i915 developers can then reassign to the right component if it's not a kernel issue.
Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: The GPU crash dump is required to analyze GPU hangs, so please always attach it.
Jul 26 08:34:22 arch kernel: GPU crash dump saved to /sys/class/drm/card0/error

Are you loading the intel module i915 in mkinitcpio?
Also while we're at it, do you have microcode?

Re: KDE black screen after login ( Fresh Install)

Can you post your xorg logs as well?
Check this site for microcodes.
