Thanks rbit. Those worked. I haven't seen the SDDM issue posted before, but I have for several years seen the Discover one. Glad to see it may finally be resolved.

Thank you for the report. These are both known issues and fixed in an upcoming 6.1.1 installer iso set.

In the meantime, to fix your already-installed sddm background, run this (as root):

  cd /usr/share/sddm/themes/debian-breeze
  sed -i -e 's,^background=,#background=,g' theme.conf
  echo "background=/usr/share/images/desktop-base/desktop-lightdm-background" >> theme.conf

(or just edit the file /usr/share/sddm/themes/debian-breeze/theme.conf to set your own background)

To manually fix plasma-discover, see this post https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?pid=63245#p63245

If you install KDE from the text-based Devuan DVD installer, you are greeted with a blinding white SDDM. Its because the Debian theme used by default is most likely missing. Is there any chance this will be changed in the future?

Additionally, Discover which ships with it is no good because Devuan doesnt have AppStream repos, so it's just a paperweight.
