This won't help, but: sddm has been broken on 3 different PCs here with Intel and AMD CPUs, on different MoBos, for months. As far as I recall it always launched the desktop, but would not logout on the first attempt. It also broke udisks because I could no longer mount storage devices using the GUI. I've posted a bug, but nothing came of it other than the recommendation to try later versions - all of them borked. On my own laptop I've moved to lightdm. -- Regards, Mick
