Description Jan T 2018-02-07 07:47:52 UTC

After the latest TW upgrade to 20180203 the SDDM login screen is complete white. There is only the mouse cursor.
Nevertheless I'm able to login by entering my password and hit "Enter".
If I downgrade Mesa to 17.3.3 the login screen is normal but then the
GPU hangs come back (see boo#1077998)

As I tested Mesa 18.0.0 RC3 before, the white login screen started for me with the upgrade to 20180130.

Please let me know if you need any log entries.

It could be the same issue as bug #1079465. Can you please test with Mesa packages from https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:michalsrb:branches:bnc1079465:X11:XOrg ?

Tumbleweed repository:
https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/michalsrb:/branches:/bnc1079465:/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/

After installing the packages, delete the ~/.cache directory of affected users. For sddm it is /var/lib/sddm/.cache.

Indeed. Using your Mesa packages fixed it. But - as you said - I had to remove the cache files in /var/lib/sddm/.cache. Otherwise the login screen remained white.

By the way: This also fixed boo#1079465 for me.

My TW20180205 system was working pretty well until today's update of the above-mentioned Mesa packages via the Tumbleweed update repo: Now I have encountered a white sddm screen and a black desktop (removing user's and sddm's cache solved the issue). But was this to be expected?

Yes.
