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?

Summary Distro kde neon Problem logon screen not accepting password

Nice thumb

I would jump over to a virtual tty so see if you can log in (CTRL+ALT+F4)

I’m not sure I understand what you are trying to say. However, I’m glad you got it fixed.

Most common reason is running out of disk space. Boot from USB and have a check as to whether the update filled up the disk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
