SUMMARY

Cant log into Wayland session anymore - Black Screen:



From SDDM menu

1. Type in password
2. Screen goes black for maybe 2-3 seconds
3. A little bit of graphics rubbsih appears on the screen

Then the SDDM Menu comes black



NOTES:

A number of Times i was not able to log into my Wayland session on my main account
but if i logged into X11 then logged backout, i could then successfull re-log back into the same account under Wayland
I had created another user account and was able to log into wayland on that account
Then i started to have the same issue logging into wayland on that user account as well so i also
logged into x11 on that account, logged out and then re-logged back into wayland

Now - Wayland is 100% dead as on all my user accounts
All i have is a black screen on all 3 monitors
Problem exists in my Intel PV and my MacBook Pro laptop

Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet.  lot has changed with how Wayland and the startup sequence work, so nan we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with either Plasma 5.27, or even the beta version of Plasma 6? Thanks a lot!
