[Bug 1128891] New: sddm not working after zypper dup
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1128891 Bug ID: 1128891 Summary: sddm not working after zypper dup Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: 64bit OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: hp4everything@googlemail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- yesterday I did a "zypper dup" for my Tumbleweed installation on a laptop and it ran without errors. After reboot Terminal 7 remains dark with a cursor in the top left corner. Last year I already had the same problem and solved it by a complete new installation of Tumbleweed. But obviously the problem still exists. What I observed: - sddm is running together with a greeter process - screen is dark, but after entering the password everything seems to work fine "in the darkroom" as can be seen in another terminal: the user session is started correctly, all user processes and initial windows are seen in the process list, but only the cursor is displayed on a dark screen - changing to gdm with update-alternatives and restarting the display-manager service: Terminal 7 shows the login screen and normal login is possible ==> X11 and graphics driver are working fine obviously - changing back to sddm : dark screen on Terminal 7 is back again! - removing sddm-caches in /var/lib and user-home doesn't help - reinstallation of sddm doesn't help - Xorg log shows an error message from sddm: the file /run/sddm/\{.......\} can't be opened, but an ls in another terminal shows, that it is created and destroyed with starting and stopping the display-manager service. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Thanks John,
I had a look at:
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=987487
and saw that, following your comment, Fabian Vogt had added one to say that the latest fixed version of sddm was now in the main repo. I therefore thought it best to do another "zypper dup" (1000+ items) before trying your workaround (even though I already had sddm-0.18.0-7.1 installed). Upon reboot sddm is working again (without your workaround).
Good news, so I consider this as fixed. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
