Changing the theme did not help. The output of 'gdb sddm' follows: Reading symbols from sddm...(no debugging symbols found)...done. Missing separate debuginfos, use: zypper install sddm-debuginfo-0.13.0-7.3.x86_64 (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/sddm [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] Using host libthread_db library "/lib64/libthread_db.so.1". [New Thread 0x7ffff1610700 (LWP 1366)] Thread 1 "sddm" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. QIODevice::write (this=0x0, data=0x6b6dd8 "", maxSize=4) at io/qiodevice.cpp:1277 (gdb) Do you need me to install a debugging package for sddm? If so, which one?
