Bug ID: 376237
Summary: Freeze on splash screen at login
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.9.1
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: critical
Priority: NOR
Component: generic-crash
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: nono31...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: 1.0
Hi,
Until yesterday, I was running KDE Plasma 5.8.5. I tried upgrading to the
latest version from the Archlinux repository (5.9.1).
Once the update done, I shut down the computer (a Dell XPS L502X laptop), and
try to restart it.
I arrive on the splash screen, type my password and press enter to login.
I see the new logo appearing and the wheel spinning. After about 30 seconds,
the wheel stops spinning and nothing happens.
I had a similar issue in one of the first releases of 5.8 (see post at
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=218596). I was only able to login
about 1 out of 5 times. With the following updates, it progressively got
better, up to a point of 90% of the time I login successfully the first time
(other times I have to restart once and it works).
As the problem seemed to happen a lot more on 5.9.1, I decided to downgrade the
packaged to 5.8.5 for now.
If you need any more details like log files or anything do not hesitate to ask.
