Hi,
I just migrated from Fedora 38 to OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and rsynced my home except .caches to the OpenSUSE-installation. I had once Plasma installed on Fedora but wasn’t happy with. I installed Tumbleweed with Gnome.
Now I wanted to try out Plasma again, installed it via zypper, switched to sddm from gdm and ran into a problem.
When I try to log in (Plasma Wayland) as my user sddm hangs after I entered my password. After quite a while I can switch to a tty while sddm seems to be frozen except that the mouse cursor turned up.
There is nothing in the journal. I deleted everything in .local/share and .config which might be KD/Plasma-related
I can log in through sddm as root and when I switch back to gdm I can log into Plasma (Wayland) as my user, too.
Any idea how to debug further or what the problem could be?
I just could solve it. My login-shell was /usr/bin/fish. After switching to /usr/bin/bash sddm starts my wayland-sessions.

I suppose that some routine in the SDDM startup assumes the bash shell will always be its environment. Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64)
