Description Hoshen 2024-06-04 10:08:50 UTC 
I recently installed Arch Linux with KDE. When I try to log in from the lock screen, I only see a black screen with a mouse cursor. Initially, I noticed I could choose between X11 and Wayland on the login screen. Switching to X11 resolved the issue temporarily.

However, after a few reboots, I encountered the black screen again. This time, the lock screen doesn’t appear, and I no longer have the option to choose between X11 and Wayland. I did not experience this problem with GNOME, but I prefer KDE’s look and feel.

Do you have an NVIDIA GPU?

> However, after a few reboots, I encountered the black screen again
Were you still using the X11 session when this started happening?
