It still starts the KDE session, but it’s probably on another term output. Hit ALT+F1 and see if it shows, but it depends on the distro, so it could F1, F6, F7…etc
F1 is just a blank conosle with a blinking curses and you can’t type anything into it. F2/3/4 open a new terminal from where I can log in, but none seem to have a KDE session running. Gotta check out the other F keys. Just in case none of the work, is there a solution you know of?
You’re probably on a laptop and have multiple GPUs enabled at the same time. If not, you’re defining Nvidia drivers with something trying to be smart about when to enable the actual outputs or not.
You can either make sure to have the display turned on, or make it super clear to the drivers to always enable a display regardless of whether it detects a display.
I should have provided more details about my setup, but I was kinda hoping that it turns out to be trivial.
I am on a desktop PC, AMD gpu, Mesa drivers, one 1440p monitor. Nothing special about the setup. I’ll have a look at the URL you provided and try a few things tomorrow.
No probs! I checked all the F-keys and non have the session initialized. The logs say that SDDM segfaulted. That’s the last message. I typed it out in the commend above if you want to take a look.

I’m guessing it’s similar to this: https://discuss.kde.org/t/plasma-doesnt-start-when-external-monitors-are-plugged-in/17350

Ehm, what? I am pretty sure you are in the wrong post.
Whoops, you are correct. Sorry about that!
