sddm freezes

ENV:
kde plsam
wayland

PROBLEM:
After recent updates yesterday, sddm freezes, and I can't input password for login.
Then I have to press the power button for a while to turn off the power,
then power on again,
then it has some chance that sddm doesn't freeze and I can input password and log in normally.

Re: sddm freezes

I had a problem with sddm freezing recently and changing the theme seemed to fix it - it appeared to be a problem with the default breeze theme. You could also temporarily switch to lightdm and see if that changes anything...

solved by upgrades, not sure the which upgrades (including qt and linux kernel)  solve the problem
