Maui Forums

At first occasionally, now every time, I login but the login screen persists. Something was obviously working as the startup script that plays my startup Beethoven ran. So I did a restart using the recovery mode. This worked, but looked horrible and overflowed the screen.
My old Netrunner 14 came up fine, and allowed me to do some research.

Ctrl/Alt/F2 and login got me a command line, and Ctrl/Alt/F7 took me to the desktop.

I could do this every time, but fixing it would be better. Help, please.

A couple of times the process has completed on its own, once with an intermediate "K gear" symbol.

Is there any difference when you change your login screen?
You could try when in tty2
cd .cache
~/.cache$ rm -rfv plasma*
reboot

Deleting the plasma* files had no effect, but switching the login screen from the default BreezeNew to Maui has fixed it.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Shame all hiccups weren't so simple. Glad to have been some help.
