KDE Plasma 5 won't start if using breeze theme

I just started using Arch a few days and am still learning.  I got everything set up fine, however, whenever I try to use to Breeze theme, the system just hangs.  I change to Breeze theme and after a restart, it just gets stuck right after checking my hard drive "/dev/sda clean *****string of numbers****". 

At that point, if I press Ctrl + Alt + F2, I could log into a terminal.
When I change sddm.conf theme to other theme like Maui, it boots into Plasma just fine.  I have been trying to troubleshoot for hours now and I can't seem to find out what's wrong and the solution.

Works for me do you have all packages from the kf5 group installed? breeze was recently moved there for the main part maybe you lack some dependency

Do you have the oxygen icon theme installed?
For  some reason it is not listed as a dependemcy, but sddm crashes for me without it.
