[Solved] Login Screen Glitch

I changed the login screen on KDE and now on restart it won't load login.
Addendum, sddm is the login for reference
Cab I change it back without reinstalling?
If not, my home folder is in a seperate partition, can I just reinstall the root without screwing up my home?
Thank you, sorry for short form. On phone.

Also if someone could point to a hand-holding lesson on implementation of sddm themes, please point me in the right direction

Re: [Solved] Login Screen Glitch

Thanks, Seth; you're on it.
I just reinstalled it; honestly I wasn't happy with my partition and directory setup, so it gave me an opportunity to fix that. I'll review the wiki, I suspect my specific answer is in there somewhere, though I went through the configuration section a few times. Cheers.

Re: [Solved] Login Screen Glitch

The wiki links merely explain how to configure SDDM with a text editor and where/how to set the theme.
