Solved. I was able to run sudo pkcon update and that fixed it. I can log in now but the desktop is rest to system defaults
I updates my distro, kde neon. The login screen changed and now it will not accept my password. I have checked caplocls, numlock, all that. It is the only password i set for it will not take it. I have no other usera on my pc so i cant just login as someone else.
What password is looking for, why is the password i used to login this morning not working?
Summary Distro kde neon Problem logon screen not accepting password
Well, you might've entered the password incorrectly a few times, and then faiilock faillocked the account. Can be fixed by going to another tty (e.g. Ctrl+alt+f3), logging in as root and
faillock --reset --user your_username_here. If that doesn't help, that's probably neon's issue (mb they messed up pam stuff or something).On a side note, KDE neon is not exactly stable for daily driving, I'd suggest switching to another distro that's not meant for testing recent KDE stuff
Can you explain those a bit more to me? I really like KDE neon so I've been using it as my main Linux distro...
I have never heard that it's for the use case you mentioned
Kinda follows from the description on their website:
Although, yap, I may've put it a bit too harshly, and the same may be applicable to using KDE on many rolling release distros.
To be fair, the only problem I had while using it (except for the usual need to add a ppa to install literally anything) was exactly the same I encountered on arch: sddm just died after some updates and refused to start. What made it worse, however, was that they decided it was a great idea to configure the same keyboard layouts both for the graphical session and tty, so I couldn'tc even login to fix it :/
