[SOLVED] Plasma does not start

Log file

Couldn't get plasma session after reboot. So I created another user, then logged in successfully.

Log shows my custom user unit started well, so it looks like auto login is working. But still no plasma. Just black boot screen on tty1.

Any advice?

Thanks.

There's no attempt to start any plasma process.

sudo find ~a \! -user a -print # assuming the problematic username is indeed "a"

a is real system user name.

Good. Run that command and see whether there're foreign (typically root-owned) files in ~a

/home/a/.Xauthority
  1716364      4 -rw-------   1 root     root          108 Oct  1 15:56 /home/a/.Xauthority

chowned to a:a. Viola! working!

Thanks very very much @seth.

I'd run `xpra` command once with sudo. That was problem maybe.

Thanks again!
