When the session hangs, can you switch back to the console where you started with "startx"
Maybe some error messages there?

List all the files and folders in the user's home directory, and make sure none are owned by root.

Do you use a custom  /.xsession ?

wayland ?

Should post the output of

Code: [Select]
journalctl -u sddm.service
Have you tried

Code: [Select]
dpkg-reconfigure sddm
Like to see this also

Code: [Select]
apt policy xserver-xorg-core
and

Code: [Select]
apt policy
Code: [Select]
lspci | grep VGA
won't hurt either

I experienced a similar problem a short while back where sddm was removed during an full-upgrade, ended up reinstalling it and everything was back to normal. Why sddm was removed I have no idea, I did not catch it in the upgrade information and ended up having to correct my mistake, maybe the same thing transpired??

This morning fully dued - no suspicious package removed or installed.
Same behavior on my machine - no Plasma desktop.
Nvidia - KMS controlled.
Reinstalled sddm to no avail.
Same error message:
Code: [Select]
...
Auth: sddm-helper exited with ...

No way,

system hangs - maybe in the state sddm is starting.

If I open a terminal session and the start the xserver via "startx" the backgroud of KDE appears but not the desktop itself. Maybe something more complicated is broken. And I think in this state sddm is no more used/needed?

Today I will make a test installation of a fresh system on a separate harddisk, run all updates and have a look if this works

There must be a bigger problem with KDE update itself. Maybe it happens only on some special environments.

I will report....
