Describe the bug
After rebasing from Silverblue 41 to Kinoite 41, I rebooted and got stuck on a black screen with just an underscore. This is probably right when SDDM should start instead.

To Reproduce
Please describe the steps needed to reproduce the bug:

  1. Rebase from SB41 to Kinoite 41
  2. reboot

Expected behavior
The system boots into the sddm screen

Additional context
Apparently this is caused by sddm not having an entry inside the /etc/shadow file. I tried to fo into /sysroot/ostree/deploy/fedora/deploy/609cb8e6313871180f6f98b1a84f0a2b83b97e7a3703d4aeab569223125b9a4e.0/etc (I know it is the Kinoite deployment because sddm.conf is there) and the shadow file indeed has no entry for sddm.

I tried to solve it by running this, but it didn't work.

buonhobo@desktop:/sysroot/ostree/deploy/fedora/deploy/609cb8e6313871180f6f98b1a84f0a2b83b97e7a3703d4aeab569223125b9a4e.0/etc$ sudo cat ../usr/etc/shadow | grep sddm | sudo tee -a /etc/shadow

(Notice that I'm inside the Kinoite deployment, you can verify that by checking for the sddm.conf file)

Even though that did not help, I checked the logs and it definitely has something to do with the sddm user:

Can you post the output of sudo grep sddm /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow from the deployment that shows the error?

I solved it, the command I ran in my previous comment DID work, but I'm stupid and I was trying to rollback into the Kinoite deploymentt without realizing that doing that will rollback /etc as well.
All I did was adding the entry in /etc/shadow and then rebase again, that worked.

Not sure if it's still useful, but here's the output of sudo grep sddm /etc/passwd /etc/group /etc/shadow /etc/gshadow

I'll keep this open for a while as I don't know exactly why this happened to me as well. I've never seen it in testing however. It might be related to the Silverblue -> Kinoite rebase.

hi,

i try to rebase from F41 Silverblue to Kinoite and encountered the same issue with missing sddm entry in /etc/shadow
that fixed i still end up in a broken kde environment. (after logging in i only see a black screen with a frozen cursor and the system locks up)

did you made any other changes except for the sddm /etc/shadow part?

should be my log from the time i tried to login

@erlking make sure you are not making the same mistake I was making in #597 (comment)

You should add the entry in /etc/shadow and then rebase to 41

P.s.: No, I haven't made any other changes besides this as far as I can remember

Tried again the rebase and ensured that the sddm entry in /etc/shadow exists before, same result sadly.
Thanks for your answer though.

Same here, just ran into this after rebasing from Kinoite 41 (from the current ISO) to the latest Bazzite and the fix sadly didn't work, /etc/shadow already had an entry for SDDM :/
