SUMMARY I upgraded all packages to the latest versions in Manjaro. I have SDDM set to autologin to KDE Plasma (Wayland) in the GUI settings. The Wayland session will start, and keypresses do seem to work, but shows a blank screen (monitor says: no signal). Workaround is to switch to TTY1 and back to TTY2. This does not happen with autologin to the X11 session, or if you turn autologin off and login to the Wayland session normally. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set SDDM to autologin to your user on the KDE Plasma (Wayland session) 2. Reboot computer OBSERVED RESULT Blank screen, monitor says no signal EXPECTED RESULT Plasma starts as normal SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: Manjaro Stable - linux516 5.16.14 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.91 Qt Version: 5.15.3 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - AMD Athlon 200GE with Radeon Vega 3 Graphics - SDDM doesn't appear to have been upgraded, and otherwise seems to function normally.
Not able to reproduce this on my alternative Artix Linux system, could this be a graphics driver issue? Specs: Operating System: Artix Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 5.16.16-artix1-1 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core Processor Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 580 Series

Yes, on both systems I rebooted as part of the testing and troubleshooting process.
I managed to workaround this issue by forcing SDDM to startup as a Wayland session as per Arch Wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Running_under_Wayland Autologin to Plasma (Wayland) now works after doing this.
Sounds like it could be an issue in SDDM itself.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > Sounds like it could be an issue in SDDM itself. Is there any way for me to find out if SDDM is at fault? I didn't start experiencing this until Plasma upgraded. SDDM itself hasn't been changed since Nov 2020.
Closing since likely a SDDM bug.
