The video display driver is correctly seen and charged as amdgpu.
That I don't understand is that sddm is supposedly can't start (in logs we saw Can't connect to display 0:)
But, as far as I see in forum post, a XFCE session can run well.

Have you changed /etc/X11/xorg.conf in between to get XFCE running?
How XFCE can run? From an other Display Manager? GDM? Lightdm?

At first I thought that this bug might be a duplicate of Bug 26994, reported by me in July, but as I read more it doesn't seem so. However, I would not rule out the idea that they may be related.

@Jean Michel
I have just tried this on my own Mageia 7 system, using
 sddm-0.18.1-3.1.mga7
logging in to Plasma. It works fine.
In case it matters, if you have 'inxi' (it is useful), please post the O/P of:
 $ inxi -G

Re the attachment comment 1:
Thank you for providing this, it was well thought out. It would have been easier (than taking, importing & interpreting a photograph) to have directed the output to a file, for example:
 $ journalctl -b | grep sddm > nimporte.txt
or
 $ journalctl -b | grep sddm | tee nimporte.txt
and attached that.

Re comment 2:
- Only the "VGA compatible controller" section was relevant;
- For large bits of evidence like this, it is better to attach them to the bug;
- If they are *very* large (not the case here), compress them first with 'xz'.

You might try downgrading from what you should have (sddm-0.18.1-3.1) to its predecessor sddm-0.18.1-3:
 # urpmi --downgrade sddm-0.18.1-3.mga7
and see whether that works as before, confirm that the update caused the problem.

Confusing if SDDM does not start at all.

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you don't reply within two weeks from now, I will have to close this bug as OLD. Thank you.

Hi

We have attached the file that contain the résult of command : 
journalctl -b -1 | grep sddm |tee /tmp/result_journalctl.log

We can't use sddm because the login screen don't appear. So we have change the login manager for lightdm.

Hi,

Sorry, This time, it's the good file. It's the result of journalctl for sddm after downgrade

Hi, thanks for this.

sddm 0.18-1 works for you. (Log is Attachment 12059 [details])
sddm 0.18-3 is not working for your install (Log is Attachment 12056 [details]).

Same hardware, same config files, 2 different binaries. 2 results.

All I see is that sddm 0.18-3 starts with writing session cookie 1 seconde before logging the whole command: 
"Running: /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/sddm/{9a7c4fcb-174e-4aed-aeda-4b8daf77c78f} -background none -noreset -displayfd 17 -seat seat0 vt1"

Analyzing /var/run/sddm/{WHAT EVER NUMBER} : this is a MIT-X-COOKIE with fully qualified hostname and domain.
See the attached logs:
Your computer is renamed localhost to localhost.localdomain while sddm starts.

This is why the MIT-X-COOKIE is wrong with sddm 0.18-3 because it writes "localhost" and not "localhost.localdomain".
That's why sddm-greeter can't access X server on display :0 because it can't have the right.

So. I strongly advice you to really name your computer by doing this:
As root:

# hostnamectl set-hostname xyz.local

Make sure it is the case by doing:

# more /etc/hostname
xyz.local

It must be the same as typed above.
Note that "xyz" is the name you choose, use alphabetical letters.
For example: mageia.local or m7.local...

I'm pretty sure that you can upgrade later to the latest sddm package.

Hi Aurelien

We applied your recommendations, i.e. fixed the name of the machine of loul1933. After the reboot, everything worked... We don't necessarily understand why the problem appeared after updating the package on this machine... Thanks for the help...

Always a good idea in all circumstances!

@Aurélien : very good detective work.

Thanks all.
BTW this bug reveals security functions well but hostname shouldn't change while sddm is launching. So why a hostname change at this time? I suspect a network change like a WiFi connection established and that triggers an hostname change from localhost to localhost.localdomain as see in logs above.

The "fix" is to really name the machine by a pretty name with hostnamectl command as root. This reminds me that by default, DrakX never asks for a hostname while installing.

This bug hit also others users. 
The manual fix is a "workaround", in my sense, since a machine should not be out whatever the hostname has been set.
The problem is that the hostname is changed, surely by avahi when hostname is set to "localhost.localdomain", which is the default for most of our installations.

Fedora seems to had this problem, but solved it in sddm:

The issue is when a transient hostname is set by a network service like avahi (zeroconf) who really need a unique hostname to be able to speak to other networked machines!

So no, the BUG is to leave networked machines with localhost name only.

But, true, XAuth is culprit here. As we have a competition/race between services that are launched simultaneously by systemd, as I previously said in Comment 13, system is knew as localhost, sddm launches, set MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE to localhost. A second later, avahi set transient hostname localhost.local, now, X Clients can't connect: they are forbidden, by wrong hostname.


The fedora patch seems try to replace XAuth by libXau, like gdm did.
This is not upstreamed.

Let's see our KDE Maintainers think.

I have found the same problem on a desktop mga8 (fully updated):
Main board MSI Z270 PC MATE (MS-7A72), Intel I5, Nvidia GT 1030.
Wired network 100/1000 (no wifi)
Boot on M2 SSD
Hostname is given by another mga8 with dnsmasq

hostnamectl set-hostname ma_machine # sddm works
hostnamectl set-hostname "" # erase the file /etc/hostname !!! sddm fails
hostnamectl set-hostname localhost  # sddm fails

This is perfectly reproducible, I made several toggles of each.

This problem has been reported exactly 5 years ago in redhat!
Why sddm needs the hostname? It is cosmetic!
If the hostname is not read, a single "welcome" is enough instead of "welcome to..."

And now with Mageia 9 the problem of sddm giving a black screen of death is still with us. I have two machines on which this happens. Not sure if it is the hostname problem or something else. On one switching to lightdm worked. I have not tried it on the other yet.
