I have Kubuntu installed, dual booting with Win10 and half the time I start my computer the desktop environment for Kubuntu just doesn't start, all I see is a blinking underscore. I can access tty and log in, which is helpful when I need to commit some work I hadn't committed. But I can't seem to get desktop to start half the time, the other half it works like a dream.

  • You could mention the version of Kubuntu. And consider asking at kubuntuforums.net as well. Providing your specs via inxi -Fxz may also be helpful. Install inxi from the repos.

I ran into a similar problem and my issue was that sddm-greeter was not able to start properly as it couldn't find the theme for the login screen.

You can find the config file for sddm under /etc/sddm.conf (if it isn't there, check the man pages man sddm and it should tell you where the config file is under the heading Files.)

For me, changing the current theme to breeze and restarting sddm fixed my issue.
