My apologies, your files are correct as you've shown, mine are from a previous sddm version 0.18.1-r8. I had to mask the latest version 0.20.0-r1, because it won't launch fully on this PC to allow me to login. This is what you can do easily and without having to add your own new 02_dale_sddm.conf file just to specify the log file path for sddm: mv ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log ./ ln -s /dev/null ~/.local/share/sddm/xorg-session.log then login into Plasma and the problem of an ever growing log file will be gone. You will need to remove the symlink and restore the log file if you want to troubleshoot the sddm or desktop in the future. > > If I recall correctly you have NVidia graphics card(s), so you should > > enable the nvidia related hardware acceleration for better performance > > and less CPU load; e.g. nvencm and/or vdpau > > I'm working on enabling those USE flags.

No clue. I'll try again in a > bit when the others finish and if that fails, a different version. It looks like a bug to me, missing a declaration of '#include <limits.h>' in their source code. Worth reporting upstream.
