Here's the journalctl output for the latest attempt to start sddm -But not for me. After a reboot, it still hangs.Have you tried removing its configuration? It works for me so it

completely broken.
this
time with the truncated line included:
By any chance does switching to another VT (like ctrl+alt+F3 or any
other number) and restarting SDDM (systemctl restart sddm.service)
work ?
There’s an upstream bug here [1] that describes the same symptoms.

That worked. I'm not sure what part of it did the trick.
I hate rebooting because it always takes me time to reorganize may
desktops. The first time I tried it, I went to F3 and mistakenly
entered the systemctl start command, which didn't work. It asked for
the root password then died. The second time I rebooted, I logged in
on F2 by mistake then relogged in on F3 and entered the correct
restart command and it succeeded.
However my desktop was even more messed up than usual. Everything
opened on virtual desktop 1, usually in the centre of the screen and
with window sizes forgotten.
Also, I'm not sure why sddm wants to bring up a virtual keyboard each
time. I'd think it should only do this if there is not actual
keyboard present.
X11. That's why my desktops were so messed up.
