Good evening everyone,
After a successful release upgrade from 15.10, I experience some odd behaviour at logon. This is much slower than it used to be: the login progress bar reaches the end in 1-2 seconds (as is used to do in 15.10), but some extra 20 seconds are needed before the desktop appears. The desktop itself is fully functional.
If I log out and log in again, while kde gets loaded the video stucks on the SDDM login screen and a manual switch to a TTY and back is necessary to refresh and display the desktop correctly. In both cases, the last message in .xsession-errors before the 20s pause takes place is "Failed to retrieve current config: "Failed to prepare backend".
A perhaps related issue concerns the use of "startx" on an empty TTY to start a new X instance. This produces a krunner crash and a plasmashell complain message "all shell packages missing", though this does not happen when starting the session with SDDM.
KDE Plasma 5.5.5
Video card: Intel HD Graphics 5500
Video drivel: i915
Compositing: disabled
Here is my xsession-errors from a SDDM login (edited to show times of messages): http://www.giovanniceribella.eu/0/xsession-errors
Any help is appreciated!
