[SOLVED] Plasma workspace not loading after login

Hi

I'm having an issue with my kde desktop. It's not loading after logging into the workspace, but curiously it loads sometimes (the workspace, not the mediacenter) when selecting the mediacenter on the dropdown list on the left side of the screen.

It's a pain in the ass, because, I have to hardware-shutdown after each failure (if I try to open a new tty and restart, there is a message saying "A stop job is running for Simple Desktop Display Manager (xs/1min 30s)" and stays like that forever), and try logging in once and again until it finally allows me into my desktop.

Any idea on how could I fix it?

I leave a video illustrating what happens.

Thank you very much!

Re: [SOLVED] Plasma workspace not loading after login

seem like an issue with sddm that rose in the last month.

mainly the main workarounds are to either switch sddm from the breeze theme or Enabling DRI 3 in intel driver conf  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/in … .28DRI3.29 (that is assuming you have a intel graphics card..)

for more infomration look at  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=207705 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358171

Enabling DRI3 seems to have solved my problem!!

Thank you very much!!
