Can you open a tty with Ctrl Alt F3 (or Ctrl Alt Fn F3), login using your username and password, connect to the internet by typing `nmtui` and pressing enter, and then run ```sh sudo refresh-mirrors sudo pacman -Syyu ``` ---

Hmm. We could try a clean reinstall of KDE Plasma or we can try login and check the logs for that time period. For the second one, reboot and try logging in again. After it fails, immedietly go to a tty (Ctrl Alt F3 or Ctrl Alt Fn F3), login there, connect to the internet again with `nmtui` and run ```auto journalctl -xe -b --since "5 min ago" | nc termbin.com 9999 ``` Then share the URL of the logs here ---

This does not seem to contain your login logs. Were you able to try login on the graphical screen before going to the console? You need to first make the login fail and then go to the console - note down the time at which the login fails and then adjust the `5 min` and change it to whatever time period that includes the time when you tried logging in. And you should not reboot after the login fails, so that you can get the appropriate logs from the above command ---

Okay. I try again. Maybe I forgot first try to log in before making a log. ---

Right before you logged in to tty, these were the errors. Seems like your theme has problems accessing some things: ```log joulu 09 13:19:07 DELL-musakone sddm-greeter-qt6[661]: Loading file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/win10-sddm-theme/Main.qml... joulu 09 13:19:07 DELL-musakone sddm-greeter-qt6[661]: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/win10-sddm-theme/Main.qml:68:9: QML FontLoader: Cannot load font: "file:///usr/local/share/fonts/s/SegMDL2.ttf" joulu 09 13:19:07 DELL-musakone sddm-greeter-qt6[661]: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/win10-sddm-theme/Components/UserPanel.qml:44:5: QML QQuickImage: Cannot open: file:///var/lib/AccountsService/icons/jakke joulu 09 13:19:07 DELL-musakone sddm-greeter-qt6[661]: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/win10-sddm-theme/Components/UserList.qml:55:9: QML QQuickImage: Cannot open: file:///var/lib/AccountsService/icons/jakke ``` Can you login to the tty and check the following files?: ```sh sudo ls -l /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/jakke ls -l /usr/local/share/fonts/s/SegMDL2.ttf ``` Share the output here. If that file exists, its permissions may be off. Perhaps we can try to reinstall KDE Plasma cleanly ```sh sudo pacman -Rnc $(pacman -Qq | grep 'kde|plasma|sddm' | xargs) ``` ```sh sudo pacman -S plasma-meta kde-applications sddm ``` ```sh sudo systemctl enable sddm ``` ```sh sudo systemctl restart sddm ``` ---

sudo ls -l /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/jakke ls -l /usr/local/share/fonts/s/SegMDL2.ttf . Both of them says, that can’t handle. File or directory not exist. ---

Ok. You can proceed to the other commands that reinstall KDE Plasma cleanly. ```sh sudo pacman -Rnc $(pacman -Qq | grep 'kde|plasma|sddm' | xargs) ``` ```sh sudo pacman -S plasma-meta kde-applications sddm ``` ```sh sudo systemctl enable sddm ``` ```sh sudo systemctl restart sddm ``` ---

Sorry, I had a typo. Here is the corrected procedure (there is supposed to be -E with grep for extended patterns): ```sh sudo pacman -Rnc $(pacman -Qq | grep -Ei 'kde|plasma|sddm' | xargs) ``` ```sh sudo pacman -S plasma-meta kde-applications sddm ``` ```sh sudo systemctl enable sddm ``` ```sh sudo systemctl restart sddm ``` ---

On the tty, run ```sh /usr/lib/plasma-dbus-run-session-if-needed /usr/bin/startplasma-wayland ``` OR ```sh startx /usr/bin/startplasma-x11 ``` (Prefix `sudo` if necessary) If you can get to the graphical interface this way, remove the theme completely so that you can login normally next time [Next page](https://rebornos.discourse.group/t/login-issue-to-session/1449.md?page=2)
