Plasma error on startup - artix openrc

I've downloaded the openrc build of artix plasma and I've noticed that the DE doesn't even startup. It is stuck on splash screen before asking for the user/password. I've also tried with the weekly build and noticed that this error also happens. I couldn't then install it using Calamares. It didn't happen though on virtual box VM... What can I do or logs I can provide to help troubleshoot the problem? Thanks in advance.

Well, I guess if you are using the same install layout and it works on your virtual machine but not your real one, it could be something to do with your real machine - but what is your real machine?    Generally you can also check logs for any messages containing words like "error" for ideas although some errors may be normal. Often hangs at this point can be related to graphics driver issues.

The updated 20211111 ISOs have a working calamares. If only Plasma fails to start, you could try an other flavour and install Plasma by hand. The packages are listed here.
