Re: plasma 5.8 upgrade - white desktop i.s.o. sddm login

Hi, in addition. When I stop sddm, the screen turns black, when I start sddm the screen becomes white,

with below status message. Looks normal to me, but not as the screen shown only white.

At what version is kwin? That package had to go through NEW and was therefor
added to the archives later then the others, but it is available now.

If you didn't use 'aptitude safe-upgrade', you may want to do so in the future
as it would've hold of upgrades which weren't ready ;-)
