Might as well try. I have a spare SSD lying around. Tnx for the assistance!

No probs! I checked all the F-keys and non have the session initialized. The logs say that SDDM segfaulted. That’s the last message. I typed it out in the commend above if you want to take a look.

Seems like you were right. I checked my logs with the monitor turned off and the last logged message is SDDM segfaulting.

I checked the logs and can’t find anything interesting. I am not that knowlagable so you’ll have to forgive me. I used journalctl -b -k to get the log from the current boot and piped it into grep for searching. There is no mention of kde, x11, xorg or wayland. Ok, editing this while typing. SDDM is segfaulting. I have no idea what that is, but another comment mentioned it. The message reads sddm-greeter-qt(1387): segfault ar 1b .... libLayerShellQtInterface.so.6.4.1... Guess that’s the issue?

Ehm, what? I am pretty sure you are in the wrong post.

Here’s a fun one. In Serbian an old name is “Godfather’s straw” (straw as in the dry stalks of plants).

I’ll check them tomorrow. Should I look for some specific messages? Or the general KDE init process?

I should have provided more details about my setup, but I was kinda hoping that it turns out to be trivial. I am on a desktop PC, AMD gpu, Mesa drivers, one 1440p monitor. Nothing special about the setup. I’ll have a look at the URL you provided and try a few things tomorrow.

F1 is just a blank conosle with a blinking curses and you can’t type anything into it. F2/3/4 open a new terminal from where I can log in, but none seem to have a KDE session running. Gotta check out the other F keys. Just in case none of the work, is there a solution you know of?

“However, even though it is now widely accepted that 4 must be written IV, the original and most ancient pattern for Roman numerals wasn’t the same as what we know today. Earliest models did, in fact, use VIIII for 9 (instead of IX) and IIII for 4 (instead of IV). However, these two numerals proved problematic, they were easily confused with III and VIII. Instead of the original additive notation, the Roman numeral system changed to the more familiar subtractive notation. However, this was well after the fall of the Roman Empire.”

Most certainly with plugins. There is a shit tone of them for basically anything you want. Learning all the keyboard commands on the other hand…

Bookmarks are only for the stuff I will always need again. Tabs just for the stuff I haven’t finished yet and don’t want to forget about.

I have a few use cases:

1. Many youtube videos that are like 30+ minutes long saved for later
2. Documentation on some stuff that I need to go back and forth
3. Movies or games that I found, but don’t want to write down and forget
4. Going down rabbit holes on wikipedia and saving it for another day
5. Everything else that catches my attention and deserves a honorable spot in the tab bar

Basically, I use my browser as a notebook. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
