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

    I do not know how to solve your problem but I suggest posting to c/voidlinux or their subreddit which should have more people capable to help.
