[SOLVED] sddm freezes after login

Today, I installed Archlinux with the KDE Plasma desktop environment on my new PC. When I tried to log in for the first time (via sddm), after I entered my password, all I got was a black screen with a cursor. After nothing happened, I restarted my PC and tried to log in again, but now when I enter my password, sddm just freezes and nothing happens.

Re: [SOLVED] sddm freezes after login

What hardware specs? Are you trying to start a Wayland or xorg session? After "freezing" can you switch to a different TTY login there and post 

sudo journalctl -b

  as well as a xorg log: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Xorg#General https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services

Re: [SOLVED] sddm freezes after login

My cpu is a Amd Ryzen 5700x and my GPU is a Amd Radeon 6570xt. Both Wayland and xorg sessions freeze. Here is the output of sudo journalctl -b: https://pastes.dev/Y88GyPlXRl

So yeah, it's root owned. Fix that.

Re: [SOLVED] sddm freezes after login

Tip: add the uid= and gid= mount qoptions

Why I run Arch? To "BTW I run Arch" the guy one grade younger.
And to let my siblings and cousins laugh at Arsch Linux...

Re: [SOLVED] sddm freezes after login

/home doesn't seem to be a different partition, let alone vfat.

might be relevant.

@EinfxchFinn, did you recursively chown/chmod the entire filesystem?
Otherwise, what are the outputs of 

lsblk -f
cat /etc/fstab

Re: [SOLVED] sddm freezes after login

Looks like I messed something up during the installation process and after running chown -R finn:finn /home/finn/ I can log in normally. Thanks!
