Bug#800705: sddm: Fails to start greeter due to OpenGL
Package: sddm
Version: 0.12.0-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
on reboot I get a black screen.
After much searching I found the following error message:
Okt 02 20:23:38 scout sddm-greeter[3280]: Failed to create OpenGL context for format QSurfaceFormat(version 2.0, options QFlags(), depthBufferSize 24, redBufferSize -1, greenBufferSize -1, blueBufferSize -1, alphaBufferSize -1, stencilBufferSize 8, samples -1, swapBehavior 2, swapInterval 1, profile 0)
I think the problems started after an upgrade of the NVidia drivert to 340.93-X.
If the greeter fails to start, to proper error handling is apprecated.
