Kubuntu - SDDM not loading (lemmy.sdf.org)

At first Instead of my SDDM I would just see an after image of what was last displayed on screen. But if I typed in my password and pressed enter, it would let me in just fine. Then after following some suggestions from users in r/Kubuntu I’ve made a bit of progress. Now when I boot up my computer instead of the SDDM being invisible, it now doesn’t load at all, from there I switch to tty3 then back to tty2 and then log in through the terminal. After that I run startplasma-wayland and then I have access to my desktop. The post where all this went down - https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/comments/1nvreuo/sddm_not_rendering/

Does anyone know a fix? I would like to be able to see my login screen.

Here’s my specs in case that would help - https://i.imgur.com/XtC43zw.png

And here’s my journalctl output after booting and launching plasma - https://pastebin.com/nnGsWebd

And here’s my journalctl output after booting

Please read it instead of just posting. You have a bunch of errors there that look like the result of your customizations. But in regards to sddm it clearly says the reason for not showing:

Oct 03 17:02:41 SadgeUmU-PC sddm[1596]: Failed to read display number from pipe

This error has a ton of suggested solutions online. You'll have to try them out.

And on the reddit post you linked somebody told you to search for that error as well, please do that.

I did search for the issue. I tried adding i915 to my initramfs modules while it did make the boot a lot cleaner looking, but the sddm is still not rendering, it is there though, I just can't see it.
