You seem to have booted in bios mode. Can you check in the bios settings if csm or legacy is enabled, if yes, disable it. The alternative is you boot from usb that was created in bios mode and you will have to create a new one (when you disable csm it will not boot so you know).
Two separate partitions both mounted at /boot/efi? That can’t be right.

/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze is provided by plasma-workspace.
If you are using KDE you should have this package.
If for some reason you do not … then install it.
As this may indicate you are missing any number of important core packages you may use the mapare script to print or install all default packages;

So you can see those are the packages it would install if you had not added the P.
The A is for all - meaning it includes packages for reinstall.
So to get a more accurate reading of what is missing you could use IP and see that.
But either with or without the A you can also drop the P, and it will install those packages.
(since you are having trouble I would probably leave the A on)
Thanks.
This is awesome.
It has updated. lemme try to boot
This is a different error.
It is for ‘breath’, not ‘breeze’.
(breath sddm theme files are duplicated acrossed multiple different packages. But most basically it is from sddm-breath-theme)
But also the breath theme would have been included in the packages you just installed.
Please attempt to again set breeze global theme
plasma-apply-lookandfeel -a org.kde.breeze.desktop
It is still showing breath as the theme and the problem.
I dont understand how this can happen from the correct sddm-breath-theme.
But I still suggest switching to breeze.
If the lookandfeel does not do it then edit the conf file, likely at /etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf.
You will want to set the theme by replacing the associated lines, ex:
[Theme]
Current=breeze
This is what I have in the /sddm.conf.d/ dir
[manjaro /]# ls /etc/sddm.conf.d/
00_manjaro_settings.conf virtualkeyboard.conf
should I edit the 00_manjaro_settings.conf ?
Only if it contains lines defining the theme.
The other location would be just /etc/sddm.conf

should be okay now I hope
I guess so.
So I just realized how this all makes sense.
That file is provided by one of these packages:
beelink-kde-settings
minisforum-kde-settings
slimbook-titan-settings
And all those packages are in a broken state, requiring and depending on plasma5 themes.
How you updated at all while keeping those does confuse me a bit.
( maybe your earlier update attempt used pamac or yay so it grabbed the plasma5 stuff from the AUR, then you used mapare and installed needed packages and updated? )
I also suggest checking your foreign packages.
pacman -Qm
here they are
[manjaro /]# pacman -Qm
anydesk-bin 6.3.2-1

systemd-kcm 1.2.1-8
visual-studio-code-bin 1.89.1-1

A number are ‘super-aliens’ that dont exist in the repos or the AUR.
And some are those plasma5 things I figured.
sudo pacman -Rns khotkeys kquickcharts5 krunner5 manjaro-hotfixes plasma-simplemenu python-manjaro-sdk systemd-kcm web-installer-url-handler
Obviously thats not all the printed foreign packages but those can surely go.
Also remove any of the others you dont need/want.
I have done so.
I will research on the others but I surely need r, vscode, chrome.

As for the packages you mentioned
beelink-kde-settings
manjaro-kde-settings
minisforum-kde-settings
slimbook-titan-settings
what can be done to restore them?
Oops I missed one.
Remove this too.
khtml and kjs are candidates too. I dont know if you need them.
The maintainers need to fix them. There is nothing you can do.
