Can't boot through sddm and system settings not working
When I try to log through sddm (default on the kde spin) the screen will flash to the the terminal then back to the sddm. When I type a wrong password is seems to work fine i.e. rejecting me but not flashing to any other screen. I have to enter the tty and log in there and startx.
In addition, when I try to use system settings it will appear to load but then do nothing.
The biggest change I made to the system was to set another ssd to be the home partition by adding and deleting a line from the fstab:
dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-root / ext4 defaults 1 1
UUID=44b329a2-9238-4ffe-a53d-734ac0590ac0 /boot ext4 defaults 1 2
/dev/mapper/fedora_localhost--live-swap swap swap defaults 0 0
UUID=bf8efd03-3220-4678-83ab-b2a5228a66c2 /home ext4 defaults 0 2
I don't know where the xorg logs are or how to decipher them. My theory is wierd permissions.
Welcome to ask.fedora. From what you've written, your computer boots just fine, because if it didn't, you'd not get to the login screen. The problem is that
sddm, your Display Manager, is failing to start your graphic environment, presumablyKDE. I don't know, yet, what's wrong, but I did want to keep you from barking up the wrong tree. Are you comfortable using a command line?
