Bug#846877: plasma-desktop: Sddm can not start kde. Then panel is not working.



Hi,

I am a bit doubtful,

Regarding the first issue :

- the same issue happened both in my laptop without any kind of dual screen ("mac book pro retina 2013" using intel i915 ) and my desktop HP with dual screen (DVI VGA ) using nouveau...
-the symptoms seem different : sddm start into the K icon and idle from there (unless I  use ctrl-alt-Fx then CTRL-ALT-F7) I can see this on both screen. The suggestion make in the previous mail did not help.
-I have no error in the boot log 

Regarding the second issue :

- my up to date sid still show this issue today the 7th of january 2017. Was qtdeclarative updated or not yet ? 
- When the panel crashes/freeses I can *also* do ctrl-alt-Fx then CTRL-ALT-F7 to restore it in a working state  (most of the time...)

Personnaly I found it unlikely that 2 different issues have exactly the same work around ?

If you want me to test more things please tell me so.
Cheers;

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

  * What led up to the situation?   upgrade some packages on debian sid (this week from 28 november to 2th december 2016)   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or     ineffective)?     try to login in plasma-kde from sddm   * What was the outcome of this action?   the blackcreen with K icon  showed off but hand out indefinitely. However   I found a simple workaourd : go to tty1 then back to tty7 and get greeted   with the sound of plasma login. However then at some point  the panel will   stop work and i could only manage to switch from one windows to another   going in the to left side of the screen.

It seems that you are suffering from two different issues, the first one seems to be related to the screen handling, which might be related to an issue of the video driver as reported in the previous reply. Please try the mentioned workarounds and report back.

The second issue is that plasmashell crashes after a while (when using certain plasmoids), which seems to be caused by an issue in qtdeclarative. There is a new upcoming version of qtdeclarative and it might be fixed in that one.

Happy hacking,
