I have just recently updated the permissions (allowing Plex media server complete access) to my Videos, Music, and Pictures folder in my home directory. Before that, I had (attempted to) updated the permissions (with the same user) to my entire home folder. But after i had done both things, and rebooted my PC, as I attempted to log in it went blank. After a bit of diggin' on the Web, I found and used the following commands:
rm ~/.local/share/kscreen
sudo killall sddm
But alas, it only made it worse. I couldn't even get past the login page after I did it, even after rebooting and deleting the ~/.Xauthority file and rebooting AGAIN and trying to login.
Can anybody help? Thanks!
