KDE stuck on login screen [SOLVED]

fungor · 2021-10-20 19:39:26

same on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comm … wbie_user/

I just installed arch on my pc but i get an log-in-kde issue. So, system starts up normally, sddm and NetworkManager services run, everything required (xorg, plasma, plasma-wayland-session and kde-applications) is installed.

When i use my non-root user password to log in, it starts reading disk but after gets me back to login screen.

I installed arch according to official wiki, this kind of installation worked on my laptop previously. The only difference is graphics card, but I guess it hardly might be the issue.

Also I noticed that I cannot start xorg with startx command, might something be missing then?

Also if any data is required I'm ready to provide it - I can't image what is the source of problem, so my post seems generic, sorry

Appreciate any help.

Chances are your created a user w/o a $HOME directory?

fungor · 2021-10-20 20:31:10

It's true, my normal user doesn't have a ~/ directory. So should I just create it?

seth · 2021-10-20 20:41:48

Yes - and you'll have to add it to etc/passwd (ie. use "usermod" to create the $HOME)
The big fat DEs don't like it if there's not $HOME for them to dump their config drivel

fungor · 2021-10-20 21:02:07

Thanks a lot, now fat DE manages to attempt to start, looks like something wrong with kglobalacce process, kde abandons startup after failing to start this 5 times

It also suggests some plugins to install and reinstalling this app, what do you think is optional?

seth · 2021-10-20 21:05:15

kglobalaccel is the shortcut daemon, do you have an actual error message?
In doubt: output of "localectl" & "locale -a"?

localectl:
system locale: lang=en_US.UTF-8
vc keymap: n/a
x11 layout: n/a
locale -a:
c
en_US.utf-8
posix

The actual error says there is no qt plugin avaliable and suggests plugins, also this happens on configuration stage of startup

seth · 2021-10-20 21:23:11

something wrong with kglobalacce

kglobalaccel or kglobalaccess?
In doubt, upload an image/photo of the actual error.

These are repeated 5 times before exiting

kglobalaccel is random here, it fails because the XCB platform plugin can't connect to an X11 server.
The problem is much before that.
Are you actively trying to run plasma on wayland?

=> Upload the entire system journal from the console ("sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io", after a failed login attempt)

fungor · 2021-10-21 06:40:09

Ok, I'll be at home afrer 12 hours, I'll send. How do I transfer that journal log? Is there any convinient way to send it over a network?

fungor · 2021-10-21 07:32:25

Oh sorry, I forgot about my usb drive ) nevermind

fungor · 2021-10-21 13:27:26

So I executed this command, still I can't understand what could be the way to see results

seth · 2021-10-21 13:29:43

You get a url in return and that is where the output of the journal went.
Post that url.

fungor · 2021-10-21 13:50:22

The problem is - I don't I tested it on my laptop with simple message, but here I'm getting no output. Might file be too huge?

seth · 2021-10-21 13:54:37

It should™ not, but there some quota on ix.io, yes.

sudo journalctl -b | tail -n 5000 | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

might be relevant too

I'm thinking it might be configs problem, something with permissions for ~/, but it's only my assumption

changing permissions helped me - now kde is running )

seth · 2021-10-21 19:58:48

Looks like.
You didn't use usermod to create the $HOME, did you?

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
