Re: Latest updates break sddm

[Rex Dieter <rdieter@xxxxxxx>]

The package  in question:

%package -n sddm-breeze

Summary:        SDDM breeze theme

# upgrade path, when sddm-breeze was split out

Obsoletes: plasma-workspace < 5.3.2-8

Requires:       kf5-plasma

# QML imports:

# org.kde.plasma.workspace.components

# org.kde.plasma.workspace.keyboardlayout

Requires:       %{name} = %{version}-%{release}

# /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png

Requires:       desktop-backgrounds-compat

BuildArch: noarch

%description -n sddm-breeze

%{summary}.

Note the "Obsoletes: plasma-workspace < 5.3.2-8" , anyone upgrading from older versions should get sddm-breeze pulled in.

If you upgraded and did *not* get that, then we have a bug in whatever method you used to update.  (dnf?)

Apparently, someone decided to split out the sddm-breeze theme into a separate rpm, and delete all the existing sddm-breeze theme files.  So, if you aren't aware of this, and are using the sddm-breeze theme - you'll get a white screen upon reboot.  You have to manually install the sddm-breeze rpm to fix it.  I'll file a bug report... this is going to make many folks very unhappy.

This might explain it... 

/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze

now only has one file in it... theme.conf.user

Where did the other files go?

My /etc/sddm.conf has:

[Theme]
Current=breeze
CursorTheme=breeze

prior to the most recent testing updates, was working fine.  Now
I get a blank white screen.  By trial and error I found I needed to
comment out the above lines to be able to login normally.
