AskUbuntuKubuntu 24.04: SDDM freezes and shows distorted screen with Crocus driver (Intel G2020) #drivers #kubuntu #2404 #intelgraphics #sddm
Problems that won't let me switch to Kubuntu #kubuntu #googlechrome #clock #scaling #sddm
Black screen after SDDM login #lubuntu #kde #loginscreen #rdp #sddm
Graham Perrin@pertho I heard the fan spin up on the host after I logged out from Plasma (X11) on a FreeBSD guest.
Pictured: excessive use of the CPU by sddm-greeter-qt6.
A separate bug, with the same underlying cause? I wonder.

@shanmukhateja no, your statement is wrong, bordering indeed on #FUD...
Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong
#KDE have explicitly blogged about this false information in recent weeks. it is only the new #SDDM replacement, #PlasmaLoginManager, that needs #systemd as a dependency... NO other #Plasma pkgs depend on systemd at all. given that PLM is entirely optional, ie, users can choose not to install it, can keep using SDDM, or other login managers, the statement that was being mentioned online by peeps either from ignorance or malice, is simply incorrect .
FreeBSD 15.0-RELEASE-p3 on ARM64 in QEMU:
― SDDM, pictured, is barely usable.
After login to Plasma (X11), resolution is limited to 800 x 600.
How can I avoid the issue with SDDM?
Host: Kubuntu 25.10, Virtual Machine Manager with Ramfb for video. Guest: non-base packages from the latest repos.
Not reproducible with FreeBSD 16.0-CURRENT on ARM64 in QEMU on the same host.

Glad I started looking into my KDE startup time issue. H/t to @20000lbs_of_Cheese and @alci for some hints!
It's looking like there's a ~30 second timeout while *something* waits for fingerprint authentication. Nothing's prompting me for it, and I could have sworn I set this up the same on my work laptop. 🤷
Now I need to dig back into my pam/fprintd config.

@neal thanks.
