[SOLVED] SDDM sometimes hangs on auto-login

Hi, I\ve installed Arch on my Xps 13 9350 (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_XPS_13_(9350)) with LUKS and an encrypted BTRFS partition.

I"m using SDDM with autologin (because I have to enter the encryption password on boot anyway) and sometimes SDDM refuses to start and gets stuck on tty1.

I can temporarily fix that by switching to tty2 and restarting SDDM, but this is kind of annoying, I've tried this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SD … fter_login but that didn't work.

journalctl -b --priority 2..3

gives me the following errors:

kernel: brcmfmac: brcmf_p2p_create_p2pdev: set p2p_disc error
kernel: brcmfmac: brcmf_cfg80211_add_iface: add iface p2p-dev-wlp58s0 type 10 failed: err=-16

I'm using

 
local/plasma-desktop 5.11.3-1
local/sddm 0.16.0-1
local/networkmanager 1.10.0-1 (gnome)

Edit: Its called LUKS not TUKS

Re: [SOLVED] SDDM sometimes hangs on auto-login

There are a few threads on this, general consensus is that SDDM might want to start before your graphics setup is initialized. To guarantee that that has happened, you could add your graphics driver to the MODULES array in your /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, as detailed here for example

Hi, seems reasonable, I'm going to try it and respond back later - problem is this happens mostly after a cold boot so I'm not sure if it worked out.

BTW: What about the other errors in journalctl like the first two? I should probably open a new thread for those right?

Yes you should open new threads for other issues, one thread per issue is the rule. But just creating one dumping the messages and asking what they are is also somewhat frowned upon, try to figure out why the errors are there and if they even have a noticable impact on your day to day usage and relaying that information should you create a new thread.

Re: [SOLVED] SDDM sometimes hangs on auto-login

Makes sense, thanks! I wasn't sure if they had anything to do with sddm not starting up so I posted them in here - other than my WIFI connecting comparably slow I have no problems - but thats probably just broadcom beeing broadcom.

edit: seems to be working, thanks!
