Description David Chmelik 2022-07-16 01:33:23 UTC
SUMMARY
*Ubuntu AMD Radeon driver (also for Kubuntu) crashes login/keyboard.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install *Ubuntu AMD Radeon driver installer package .deb (repo.radeon.com. dpkg -i package.deb.)
2. Root text-edit (such as with emacs, mcedit, micro, nano, pico, vi) /usr/bin/amdgpu-install to add 'neon|' in front of 'ubuntu|linuxmint|debian' (about line 294.)
3. Install drivers such as: amdgpu-install --opencl=rocr,legacy --no-32 --accept-eula.
4. Reboot.

OBSERVED RESULT
*Ubuntu AMD Radeon driver (also for Kubuntu) crashes login/keyboard: disabled except software keyboard--though almost no one would know--one can use mouse to select button to reenable hardware keyboard, then an error displays (below) and can't login.

        The current theme cannot be be loaded due to the errors below, please select another theme.  file:///user/share/sddm/themes/breeze/Main.qml:12.1:plugin cannot be loaded for module "org.kde.plasma.core": cannot load library /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/qml/org/kde/plasma/core/libcorebindingsplugin.so: (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libKF5GuiAddons.so.5: undefined symbol: wl_proxy_marshal_flags.

EXPECTED RESULT
Never replace desktop hardware with software keyboard when there's no touchscreen!  Don't have theme-dependent login.

Thank you for your bug report! 
However this bug report was created/provided previous to 01/01/2023 and also has not received any updates since  before 01/01/2025. 
Unfortunately KDE neon no longer provides updates for anything older than noble 24.04 based edition's.
Please upgrade to KDE neon noble and if you can reproduce the issue after upgrading to an active version, feel free to re-open this bug report.
Thanks for understanding!
