[SOLVED] Stuck in SDDM login after update and screen locker broken

wosiack · 2023-03-31 17:36:50

Yesterday after a routine update i get a screen saying the screen locker was broken.

I change to tty2 and unlock using loginctl.

After i restart the computer i'm stuck in the sddm login.. after input password i get back to the login screen.

I'm pretty sure i came across this situation before and the problem was the wallpapper somehow.. but i don't remember how i fixed it.

don't know what info should i provide..

journalctl -b

EDIT: apparently was something with the solig-git package

Don't use optimus-manager, you've a turing chip that's eligible for full prime+powersaving support.

Thanks. but i'm not sure what should i use instead...

And that's not the problem with the login loop right? i uninstall optimus-manager and nothing happened

Also get rid of all xorg config files optimus-manager left behind and post your xorg log.
You're running /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 and then the session immediately closes, there's nothing in the journal to explain that.
You could try to log into an openbox session and see whether that works.

The log's fine, suggests no problems and is actually from a running server (~10 minutes)?

Don't know how to use it
i've tried and got this error

Openbox-Message: Couldn't set messages locale category from environment.
Openbox-Message: Couldn't set locale from environment.
Openbox-Message: Failed to open the display from the DISPLAY environment variable.

seth · 2023-03-31 20:47:54

You select openbox in the sddm session menu?

That being said:

Openbox-Message: Couldn't set locale from environment.

localectl
locale
locale -a

i manage to start a session with the openbox
but i can't do anything.. every option under "system" comes back with "not found", file manager also

edit:
"KDE/Openbox" doesn't work, it's the same as plasma, goes back to login
only session "Openbox"

The menu items will mostly reference stuff you don't have installed, but that's not important.
Make sure you've a terminal (xterm), post the locale outputs, make sure your $HOME is writable, check whether there KDE related coredumps https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Core_d … _core_dump
and try to run "startplasma-x11" from within the xterm in openbox and see whether that prints any usable errors.

Well, there's at least part of the problem.

% pacman -F libKF5Solid.so.5
extra/solid 5.104.0-1 (kf5)
    usr/lib/libKF5Solid.so.5

pacman -Qkk solid
sudo LC_ALL=C pacman -Qkk | grep -v ', 0 altered files'

try startplasma-x11 and got the same error

so i change the solid-git to solid package and everything works fine now (except my mplayer crashes with exit code 127, but thats not important rn)

i appreciate you take the time to help me, thanks
