After switching to Plasma 5 from KDE SC 4, I have a couple of small issue, and I wonder if anyone else already has a solution?
1) I'm using SDDM now, but even with KDE4, I was unable to get SDDM to actually launch a Plasma session. After entering my details, I get a black screen and no further activity. I have to switch to another console, log in, and invoke startx myself.
I had this problem too for a while. It turned out that I had zsh misconfigured in some way. I cleared out all my zsh configuration files to start fresh and sddm worked. I still don't know exactly what caused it and it certainly may be an upstream bug, but that solved it for me.
