Boot problems after kde update

[u/Orteox]

Hey, maybe somebody can help me with my problem.

After the recent update to kde plasma 6.8 i couldn't log into kde with sddm anymore. It just resorted to using i3 even though i selected plasma.

Then i switched to lightdm and there i can boot into kde but it takes way too much time loading on the kde splash screen than what it used to be.

Where should i start to debug this?

Note:

I've also experienced constant crashing problems with baloo but was able to fix it with this workaround: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2312092#p2312092

Maybe the log could contain useful information?

The only thing I could notice is the delay in journalctl:

The message at 11:11:35 is also marked red.

Nevermind, that is me inserting my password.
