Solved. I was able to run sudo pkcon update and that fixed it. I can log in now but the desktop is rest to system defaults

I updates my distro, kde neon. The login screen changed and now it will not accept my password. I have checked caplocls, numlock, all that. It is the only password i set for it will not take it. I have no other usera on my pc so i cant just login as someone else.

What password is looking for, why is the password i used to login this morning not working?

    Kinda follows from the description on their website:

    You should use KDE neon if you are an adventurous KDE enthusiast who wants the latest and greatest from the KDE community as soon as it’s available, with no delays, opinionated patches, or UX changes.

    Although, yap, I may’ve put it a bit too harshly, and the same may be applicable to using KDE on many rolling release distros.

    To be fair, the only problem I had while using it (except for the usual need to add a ppa to install literally anything) was exactly the same I encountered on arch: sddm just died after some updates and refused to start. What made it worse, however, was that they decided it was a great idea to configure the same keyboard layouts both for the graphical session and tty, so I couldn’tc even login to fix it :/
