Subject: [gentoo-user] Login manager occasionally fails to show

Hi!

I've been running in to a problem on and off for the past year or so: when I boot my computer it won't always show a login screen (SDDM). The screen will remain dark without a signal. If I swap tty with ctrl+alt+F1 it will show me the boot log, with the last entry being "starting local" and letting me login through the terminal. I can then reboot and things will start up just fine. Interestingly it does say something about shutting down the display manager when I reboot in such instances...

I feel like happens if I fail to start my monitor fast enough, but I'm not entirely sure. Could that be related?

Any ideas?

Best,
Markus
