    You are on Plasma 6 and seemingly all SDDM themes are currently broken.

    Use the default theme and try to find ones that work.

    When I upgraded to Plasma 6, I needed to select default theme, upgrade, then re choose my theme. Also upgraded from command line rather than a terminal window.

      I’ve tried switching lock screen themes and gotten it to work temporarily but it goes back to default with that red error text on a reboot.

    Just a suggestion…if you’ve enabled disk encryption during installation, consider enabling autologin for SDDM so you’re not having to enter two credentials at boot. You’ll rarely ever see your greeter again, so it won’t really matter which theme is used.

    And if you did not enable disk encryption, consider doing so as the security and privacy benefits are significant for most users.

      i do have encryption enabled as security was one of the main reasons i moved to linux. however im going to keep autologin disabled as i like requiring a password after waking from sleep.

        No worries, the screen should always lock after sleep or idle regardless of SDDM. KDE uses a separate kscreenlocker app for that functionality once your desktop session has started. It’s worth noting the kscreenlocker doesn’t rely on the SDDM theme in any way, as the two are completely separate processes. So, your lock screen will always match your active KDE theme.

    I’ve had some VERY similar issues with SDDM ever since I switched to Fedora 40 Sway. Only my issue is with Qtgraphicaleffects, while quickcontrols seems to load properly. I have the following package: qt5-qtquickcontrols2 installed with dnf and it works. Hope it works for you too. But for me, I’m still having Qtgraphicaleffects issues, to the point I ended up rewriting my sddm theme without Qtgraphicaleffects. It’s crazy, I know, but it’s hard enough to find a decent theme without KDE dependencies as it is (I’m not using KDE Plasma). Finding one without qtgraphicaleffects as well would be even harder.
