Thanks for the command... It happens there are tones of errors, from 3 sources kscreen (like journalctl -b -3|egrep kscreen|wc -l => 26390) sddm-greeter (and sddm) systemd Actually everything broke, and kscreen has huge difficulties dealing with the dual screen Minutes ago, kde failed to remember that the laptop screen is not to be used and that it is the external screen that is used; which has consequence that when I turned the external screen on and start typing the screen remained off because of no input... Had to go in the cupboard to reach the laptop, open the lid, and see things went awry, completely. Also, I recall it is not a new error, it is sth that's running for months, if not years plasma + multiple monitors, sddm not showing cursor, mpv and compositor are also errors with many occurrences on the net ==== What I do is try to sort the "journalctl -b -3" according to what I remember happened And then I'll put it here And yes it is a complete mess > logs of your last boot, not the current one.
