I was using my chromecast on my second monitor and i wanted to download an app so I turned on my PC with only my main monitor plugged in (the other one obviously had the chromecast) and when I turned it on and logged in the desktop showed up for like a second and then went black and tgen back again and it that like 5 Times until it was fully black with my only cursor. I could technically still open a new desktop because i got to the menu by hovering my mouse in the top left corner. I tried rebooting and restarting sddm but nothing has worked.

hello yes I recently ran into the same problem, I could open a tty terminal but couldn't access a graphical desktop login screen

#

my solution was to replace sddm with plasma login manager

#

hope this helps you too

SOLVED: In the tty aka terminal using the shortcut ctrl + alt + F3 or F4 and I typed typed the command (or whatever you wanna call it) sudo pacman -Sy and sudo pacman -Syu to update stuff on the system. Now be carefull because updates can make it worse so do reasearch before updating!
