At first Instead of my SDDM I would just see an after image of what was last displayed on screen. But if I typed in my password and pressed enter, it would let me in just fine. Then after following some suggestions from users in r/Kubuntu I’ve made a bit of progress. Now when I boot up my computer instead of the SDDM being invisible, it now doesn’t load at all, from there I switch to tty3 then back to tty2 and then log in through the terminal. After that I run startplasma-wayland and then I have access to my desktop. The post where all this went down - https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1nvreuo/sddm_not_rendering/
Does anyone know a fix? I would like to be able to see my login screen.
Here’s my specs in case that would help - https://i.imgur.com/XtC43zw.png
And here’s my journalctl output after booting and launching plasma - https://pastebin.com/nnGsWebd
Your journal output might be too curated, I don’t see anything that would keep the display manager from starting up.
We’d need more info on this, like what exactly did you change and what was that progress and how/when did it turn into regress.
Journal output for SDDM and related services, and for the relevant timeframe, would be better.
I suppose SDDM is the default for Kubuntu, and if you had done other possibly relevant things to your setup you’d have told us.
FWIW, it could be GPU related, but that really just is a wild guess.

The only suspicious entry I’ve found was #185:
Skimming search results onto the above error message seems to second your idea.
👍 I missed that one. Yeah, OP should at least look what else is happening around that.
The issue is I have no idea what any of these errors mean. I’m pretty new to desktop Linux so I’ve just been researching the errors one by one but so far, no dice.
Show us! The journalctl output was too restricted, we need to see all of it - at least for the significant timeframe.
