I find that I now cannot select themes - and I'm getting either a solid white or blue background when SDDM starts.
When I tried to test, this is what I received:
sddm-greeter --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze [11:43:09.032] (II) GREETER: High-DPI autoscaling not Enabled [11:43:09.108] (EE) GREETER: Socket error: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" [11:43:09.109] (EE) GREETER: Cannot connect to the daemon - is it running?

Wanted to see if there was a quick fix or if this is known before I create a bug report.
I didn't see anything on bugzilla, but might have missed it.
Thanks!
I noticed that I didn't have the package sddm-themes installed so I installed it. Now I don't get the errors when testing, but the 01-fedora-breeze theme has a plain solid white background, and the breeze them has a solid blue background. Something got smurfed...

Does /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png symlink exist and is valid?
It's provided by desktop-backgrounds-compat, we've seen reports of that symlink getting broken from time to time (no idea how that happens).

Nope, no longer there... looked on my laptop and found that it should be: default.png -> ./f27/default/standard/f27.png
So I can just manually recreate it... but yeah, it wasn't recreated during the upgrade process for some reason.

Hey Rex, just a clarification... I did find the symbolic link... it isn't in /usr/share/backgrounds/ it is in /usr/share/backgrounds/images/

The other thing I noticed is that in: /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-breeze-fedora/theme.conf is that it now looks like this:
[General] type=color color=#1d99f3 background=
Previously, there was a file called theme.conf.user - which had: [General] type=image background=/usr/share/backgrounds/default.png
When I just did the upgrade on my laptop, it wasn't touched... but on my desktop, it was erased.

Sorry, made a mistake: on my desktop the file theme.conf.user is there, but contains now: [General] type=color

Again, strange,
$ rpm -ql sddm-breeze |grep theme.conf /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-breeze-fedora/theme.conf /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-breeze-fedora/theme.conf.user /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf
The sddm-breeze package is supposed to provide both.

I've used this thread a number of times to recover because I never remember what the problem is exactly. Was bitten again today and sure enough that symlink was missing.
While it may not be much help, I highly suspect mine got whacked by `dnf upgrade`. Sadly, it's been a while so this list may not be super useful, but here's what did get updated (below). My bet is on some ill behaved %post.

I meant to say that my /usr/share/backgrounds/default.png symlink was missing and a simple reinstall of desktop-backgrounds-compat resolved the issue for me.
