Hi Dale,
I'm not sure on where you got the black screen. If it is when X
started, did you switch to sddm or some other compatible display
manager? The old kdm isn't supported and from what I read, doesn't
work. That may explain the black screen.
Sddm worked as expected, not to mention its veeery slow interface (for
that nvidia drivers can be blamed, but whatever). The black screen
appeared after logging in.
Slow interface?
It works quite well on my laptop. Did you add the "sddm" user to the "video"
group as mentioned in the upgrade guide?
No I didn't because I had a much more blatant issue with the whole
desktop than the 'SDDM display issues', I just didn't get to that.
Thanks for pointing it out, next time I'll give it a try.
If it after you login, did you select the write session? At first, I
wasn't sure which one to pick. There is a couple at least KDE related.
I think I had one that said plasma and one that said KDE wayland. I
have seen wayland talked about and tried it but I got a black screen. I
had to restart xdm to reset it. Then I chose plasma from the list and
it worked. So, make sure you pick the right one.
There were three choices for the session. By default plasma was
selected, this was the one that gave me the black screen. Others didn't
plain work (returned to sddm).
No idea here, logs?
I didn't see anything relevant in Xorg.?.log (neither in messages) and
since there was no kdm which usually tracks all KDE messages I didn't
know where to look. Neither any new log files appeared.
