Just installed CachyOS with KDE Plasma and just get a blank screen on boot

Issues & Assistance
1

So I had gnome installed but wanted to switch to KDE. So I did a fresh install of CachyOS with KDE Plasma. But now when I boot my fresh install of cachyos with kde plasma it’s a completely blank screen. Not even a flashing cursor. But if I press ctrl alt F5 I can still bring up a terminal to login to.

I did run journalctl -r -b | paste-cachyos from the terminal and it gave me this link: 196a64a

Hopefully someone can help me :weary:

EDIT: Someone on Reddit found this KDE bug (500819 – SDDM / Desktop is not reachable since 6.3.2 with multiple monitors configuration) for multi monitor setups. Is that my issue then? And if so, when will it be pushed to CachyOS and it’s liveISO?

As far as I know, CachyOS updates the packages to the latest version during the installation, which means you’ll be able to get it as soon as it’s available in the repository.

Hi brownan, other people have suffered from this issue too and I bring you good news that I have cherrypicked the fix to CachyOS’s kwin package. If you can update your existing Plasma system or do a reinstall if you wiped it, it should be fixed now :slight_smile: Thanks!
