--- Comment #10 from HankB <hba...@gmail.com> ---
I tested the "hang" again and observed:

1. After login, switch to black screen with three dots and ">" logo centered
and "Plasma made by KDE" + logo in lower right. There is a small gear below the
centered logo that is rotating.
2. Brief flash that looks like desktop, less than a second.
3. Return to black screen as before, with logos but the gear is no longer
rotating.
4. Mouse is responsive. Clicking on lower left corner shows no hint that
anything is happening.
5. <ctrl><alt><fN> for N= 1..6 opens a text console. <alt><F7> returns to black
screen as described in 3.
6. If left alone (no mouse, keyboard) the screen will go to low power mode
according to power settings. Mouse or keyboard input brings it back up to the
screen as described in 3.

I have collected information from various sources and pasted into
https://pastebin.com/ZfqB1tJe

I checked for possible related failed systemd services and found
systemd-networkd-wait-online.service which failed shortly after boot, about 5
hours ago.

Allow me to wander a bit. Raspberry Pi ecosystem is a bit different from the
typical X86_64. You don't mention if you have experience with that so I'm
presuming perhaps not. One benefit is that the H/W is pretty invariant, though
I understand that the Pi 4B uses a different GPU than previous models. But all
Pi 4Bs will use the same GPU and that should make things a little easier. OTOH,
I don't think that the people with the most experience with the Pi push their
changes back upstream. I'm running straight Debian so I do not benefit from
their efforts. Also, I'm not using the default DE for Debian which I'm sure you
know is Gnome. I'm probably in a very small group of users wishing to use KDE
on Debian on a Pi 4B on the Testing variant which should graduate to Stable
some time in 2023. When It's ready. I don't believe that this kind of bug will
hold up that graduation.
I'm also aware that resources for open source projects are never quite enough.
If you need to triage this and at some point relegate it to "won't fix" because
there are more impactful areas demanding your time, I fully understand and will
respect that decision. And will hope that progress on Wayland is swift. (I'm
using it on my X86_64 desktop and laptop for KDE/Plasma.)
In the mean time I will continue to perform any tests and collect any
information you request, as quickly as possible to hopefully keep the context
fresh.

Again, Thanks!
