Hi Nick, that is a pity. The problem with kde5 is the dependencies in debian/testing. Maybe you can backup your ~/.kde directory, then deinstall kde and reinstall. Do not install from unstable, as it will uninstall a lot of kde related packages. Maybe try first to install kde4 from stable, then upgrade to testing. Then install plasma-desktop and the other stuff. Really, go step-by-step. Do not forget to install libkdecoration* with the older version. (Sorry, I can not exactly name the correct ones at the moment, so look at my posts from Aug/2015 in this list, and look at the answer). At the moment I also could not get SDDM managed to start. Neither with breeze nor with another skin. This might work on other computers. On my desktop-pc , I got sddm started, but I could not login. IMO sddm is buggy. So I reverted back to kdm, which runs fine. If you get kde5 started , copy .kde back to your home. However, during my tests I never could get a fresh kde5 started correctly, but with my old ~/.kde from kde4 it started well. I suppose, it is because kde5 is still a mix of kde4 and kde5 libs. Sorry, I cannot give more help, it is difficult to help from here. Maybe it would help, if I send you my list of installed packages with versions, so you can look at. Best regards Hans
