I came from Arch to Void just today and after installing KDE and enabling dbus, I enabled SDDM, I type in my password and it says login failed, I tried lightdm, I couldn’t login neither in my user account nor root, I setup plasma to run with xinit, plasma did launch successfully, but sudo NEVER worked inside plasma, it always says “password incorrect, please try again” even though I’m able to sudo inside TTYs

I tried “sudo sddm” and read the logs, it says SDDM: authentication_FAILED for user “” which is weird (it didn’t print any names)

There were also some PAM logs in between, I didn’t change any PAM configuration

I have elogind installed and enabled too

    Yes everything in TTY works as intended, I can login as my user account and sudo works as it should

      That’s really weird. I set up a test system and I couldnt reproduce. The only thing I noticed errors flooding dmesg about elogind already running when I enabled it following the docs. I guess sddm is already starting it?

      I dont see how that would cause your issue though. I would probably just reinstall lol
