KDE Multiple Login Sessions and no Desktop Effects

Hi everyone,

I have installed KDE Plasma 6.3.6 and enabled autologin for my user using the Plasma Wayland session.

Every time I log in, SDDM logs in automatically but then keeps spawning other KDE session onto different TTYs. This does not happen if I use a Plasma X11 session.

Also, if I enable plymouth, select a theme and then use a Plasma X11 session, KDE never comes up and shows just a black screen. On Plasma Wayland session, it works though with plymouth.

I also installed 2 desktop effects (Burn My Window, Aura Glow) and none are visible under Desktop Effects even though when I press Get New..., they are marked as installed.

Your help is appreciated. Thanks

Re: KDE Multiple Login Sessions and no Desktop Effects

For the Desktop effects, I found out why they were not appearing. You have to click the Filter icon and uncheck Exclude unsupported effects. However, when I enable any newly installed effect, it still does not work.

Any help to debug further is appreciated.
