Hey all,
I recently started using Wayland with Hyprland, and so far everything has worked.
However, it seems that logging in via SDDM does not work - journalctl suggests that everything was going as expected and a session was created, but sddm-helper immediately closes the session without any errors. I followed many guides / bug reports about this and nothing so far has worked.
This is my journalctl:

I can only login by going to a TTY, from where I can launch Hyprland.
Further information:
using NVIDIA GPU (have followed the wayland NVIDIA guide, and it seems to be working)
using sddm-git from AUR
