Here is a video I recorded of what it looks like to log into my conputer from boot.

I genuinely don't know how to describe this since I don't entirely understand what is actually going on here.

journalctl --boot --since "2025-10-15 8:18:00" --until "2025-10-15 8:21:00" --no-tail > log.log

systemctl status -n999 sddm

Hope I did this right.

the status on the sddm is that it is working but the screen is completely black. Like i can type in my password and press enter and then it takes me to the desktop but I just can't see it.

also can you do a systemctl status sddm

here's the output https://pastebin.com/mF9h0x9e

I think this might have something to do with the issue but I'm not sure

sddm-helper[1790]: Failed to write utmpx:  No such file or directory lines 1-25/25 (END)

I did search for the issue. I tried adding i915 to my initramfs modules while it did make the boot a lot cleaner looking, but the sddm is still not rendering, it is there though, I just can't see it.

Actually, I do have a thunderbolt device plugged in, but I have already ruled it out as a possible cause since the issue still persists even when the thunderbolt device is not plugged in.

I just sent an email. hope they will be able to fix this issue.

The issue is I have no idea what any of these errors mean. I'm pretty new to desktop Linux so I've just been researching the errors one by one but so far, no dice.

At first Instead of my SDDM I would just see an after image of what was last displayed on screen. But if I typed in my password and pressed enter, it would let me in just fine. Then after following some suggestions from users in r/Kubuntu I’ve made a bit of progress. Now when I boot up my computer instead of the SDDM being invisible, it now doesn’t load at all, from there I switch to tty3 then back to tty2 and then log in through the terminal. After that I run startplasma-wayland and then I have access to my desktop. The post where all this went down - https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1nvreuo/sddm_not_rendering/

Does anyone know a fix? I would like to be able to see my login screen.

Here’s my specs in case that would help - https://i.imgur.com/XtC43zw.png

And here’s my journalctl output after booting and launching plasma - https://pastebin.com/nnGsWebd
