Bug Description
Couple days ago I installed Kubuntu Vivid on Lenovo Thinkpad x220 tablet (amd64 version from daily iso). Encrypted home directory, SSD type drive.
Today I could not enter my Plasma desktop. The sddm display manager gets stuck after I fill in the password and press Enter. Sometimes the mouse pointer disappears, and sometimes it turns into a black X symbol. It hangs like this till I kill it (sudo service sddm restart)
I can login to tt1-6 allright.
I tried installing slim and lxdm managers, but they do the same - get stuck after filling the password (mouse pointer disappears). I also tried reinstalling sddm (it updated two times in the repositories even today, so I updated to the new verisons, to no avail).
I have no clue how to troubleshoot this problem. Please tell me. If it is done sooner than sunday, I will try to gather whatever information I can from the system. Otherwise I will have to reinstall Kubuntu (perhaps 14.10 version) as I do need that machine to function.
There are other reports of this happening:
