Public bug reported:
After upgrade to Kubuntu 24.04 SDDM fails to start Plasma Wayland session:
1. I enter the correct credentials
2. The screen goes black for a few seconds
3. The SDDM greeter appears again, asking for login credentials.
However, I can start plasma session manually by running
/usr/bin/startplasma-wayland from a different TTY.
Attaching the output of `journalctl -f` during an attempt to start Plasma from
SDDM.
The following lines seem to be connected to the problem:
