Can you try to edit the file /etc/sddm.conf and changing the current theme from mga-coffee to elarun, like this:

Current=mga-coffee

to

Current=elarun

and see whether you get the same?

Well the problem is unchanged, in that there are periods of our background diluted with white, but the sddm login dialog now appears with a KDE background, not ours.

I think two videos are needed here.

Same issue - just wrong theme.

I had the same issue here. It looks as if it has gone now. Anyone can confirm this?

This has been fixed in xinitr-2.14.21-22.mga6

I meant xinitrc-2.14.21-22.mga6
Comment 7 Barry Jackson 2016-12-19 18:57:31 CET
I confirm that this seems fixed on two machines recently updated here so closing.
