sddm not starting / Auth: sddm-helper exited with 6 (or 11)
by wael_h from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5M2GR)
Hello evryone;
About half the time I boot the machine sddm starts normally. The other half it
(sddm login screen) does not start when I boot the machine. When that happens
I use the key combination [Ctrl-Alt-Bksp] to force it to restart - which works every time.
When it does not start, it shows up for a split second or it is visible for that split
second then it disappears with mouse pointer still visible on a black / blank screen.
I tried Kdewallet both with and without password for root and my normal user;
the same results with both settings - with and without password for kdewallet, I
also tried with new wallet name as "kwallet" not kdewallet - same results also.
The machine has GeForce GTX 570 graphic card, uses the "noueavu" open source
driver. Machine starts at run-level 4. Kernel version is at 5.12.12. The machine
is up to date with current upgrades including yesterday July 9, 2021 updates which
includes "xorg-server-1.20.12-x86_64-1.txz", please note that sddm not starting did
happen once with that upgrade. Another note; I usually upgrade in run-level 3.
