Alright, I fresh installed again, and updated. Oddly, no black screen with just a cursor, but the GUI loading bar still does not move at all.

Re: Plasma OpenRC refuses to boot properly, while every other init works

Yep, using startx, I opened konsole successfully. So what does this suggest? It is a problem with sddm not working properly?

Could be sddm but maybe not.
You showed you could get a very basic desktop with no sddm and by running

Code: [Select]

startx /usr/bin/konsole

Did you also try starting KDE / Plasma this way ? I just had a fiddle with the VM I made and for whatever reason I could not get a Plasma desktop using a startx one liner but it worked fine putting what I said into ~/.xinitrc and just running

Code: [Select]

startx

From your description I'm guessing you chose the 'autologin' feature during installation ?
As you don't mention entering a password on the sddm screen.

It would seem that the issue is with loading Plasma not with sddm but that's not certain to me.
Which is why you should try loading Plasma via startx to see if the same issue remains or does not.

I don't use a display manager as I don't see the need and have experienced odd behavior from them in the past.
My Artix install automatically logs me onto tty1 at boot then I type my alias to startx 'sx' and viola desktop.

It autologs in yes. I am doubtful that it is Plasma that is the issue, as using any other init works flawlessly, only OpenRC has issues.

Well it seems to be getting past the sddm stage and hanging at the loading of Plasma.
Just because Plasma works on other init type iso's doesn't mean it's openrc at fault.
There could be other peculiarities as to how the openrc iso was built. Which is causing problems ?

I've told you twice what I'd try next.

If it was me and that hadn't worked the next thing I'd try would be creating a temp user account and trying to start Plasma with a fresh and clean set of user settings.

I have figured it out! It is the auto-login feature. Leaving it off and reinstalling, and even past updating, I can successfully sign in and it loads up the desktop just fine.

The cause of the problem is the auto-login feature which is not allowing the system to load the desktop.

Glad you got it working. In the case of the VM I span up it worked both with and without autologin.
sddm handles the autologin so I guess we can say it was an sddm problem or at least related to sddm ?

If you want autologin, and the device is to be single user then sddm is bringing very little to the table.
It's fairly trivial to remove sddm, set the system to autologin to a tty, and then make X start automatcally.

To autologin to tty1 edit /etc/conf.d/agetty.tty1 to

Code: [Select]

# make agetty quiet
quiet="yes"

# Set the baud rate of the terminal line
baud="38400"

# set the terminal type
term_type="linux"

# extra options to pass to agetty for this port
agetty_options="--autologin YOURUSERNAME -J"

To start X automatically I used to have something like this in the user ~/.bash_profile

Code: [Select]

#Startx Automatically
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/tty1 ]]; then
. startx
logout
fi

I haven't tested the X bit. I prefer to start X manually now. But I used to have something like that. Check X isn't running, check we're on tty1. If so startx
