Login from boot works normally, however, logging out and then logging back in brings up a blank screen with cursor. However, I can still start apps and have them work (somewhat); I can bring up a terminal emulator and try to start plasmashell/startx but neither solves the problem.
startx returns an error “startkde not found”
For reference, installation is on a matebook x pro (intel + nvidia dual graphics)
Hello and welcome,
You should not use that if you just logged out from a working desktop session. It doesn’t help your case.
What you can do is change inside your ~/.xinitrc the line:
DEFAULT_SESSION=startx
to this
DEFAULT_SESSION=startplasma-x11
Make sure you system is fully updated and restart the system. If the issue persists, please provide from terminal:
inxi -Fxza --no-host
Use </> from edit tools to format the text when you paste it here.
Sorry for the late reply. Just gave that a shot and it sort of (?) worked? I’m now able to log in to tty2 and run startx which gets me into my normal desktop enviroment (albeit on tty2). tty1 is still a blank screen with a cursor, however I can now open up krunner to run commands. But the desktop environment isn’t loaded and running startplasma-x11 does nothing.

Please run:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f && sudo pacman -Syyu
Also try with 5.4 LTS kernel
I had some issues with some of the qt widget segfault bugs and so I didn’t bother updating my system for a while. Anyways, running -Syu & changing to startplasma-x11 resolved the problem
