On my Debian 11.2 Kde plasma, I was connected to a monitor then I hibernated. I unplugged, then turned it on. Screen was black instead of showing login screen so I forced shutdown. For some reason sddm was in an infinite loop when logging in. I tried logging in as myself in tty2, but login screen prompts again everytime after entering password. My journalctl -p err is attached.

I fixed it. I remember that I did apt install zsh and chsh -s /bin/zsh a few days ago and there was some sort of update that probably messed it up. I just did cshs -s /bin/bash myself then it was fixed.
 
Well done !

I edited the thread to indicate that it has been resolved.

There's something awesome about finding your own solution when you're stuck.
