ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirementsA proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

SDDM Login screen after 3.3.0 updaterevision 1 · captured 2026-10-04 11:49 UTC via poll
System details
Thinkpad T480s, i7-8650U, Intel UHD 620, Omarchy 3.3.0
What's wrong?
On update to 3.3.0, my laptop goes to the SDDM login screen after the Omarchy LUKS screen.
On this screen, I can see my username, and two options for sessions:
- Hyprland
- Hyprland (uwsm-managed)
If I chose Hyprland, I can log-in, but things like the keyboard shortcuts and omarchy executables do not work (they are not on $PATH).
If I choose Hyprland (uwsm-managed), I cannot login (does nothing).
Looking at SDDM logs I see the following:

Note the process crashed messages near the top.
I'll also note that I ran the exact same upgrade process on my desktop with no issues. I have identical configurations between the two machines.
Warning
I don't know if the above logs are helpful. If there is something better to show, I'm happy to run commands to help troubleshoot!
Update
I removed some unknown extra keyrings on the laptop to match my working desktop. After that, I see the same behavior, but the logs are slightly different.
