@Thijs Kaper: I have the exact same problem.

My alternative workaround:
Like you I authenticate, black screen after typing the password and hitting enter. Then I go to tty2, authenticate in the terminal, and type 'startx' (and 4 times Ctrl+C). And finally KDE starts without problem on tty2. This is crazy.

Like @Bernadette Addison I had huge icons. It was impossible to set a higher resolution with the KDE display manager. So I used xrandr:
xrandr --output eDP-1-1 --mode 1920x1200 --scale 1x1
for example.
The resolution is fine even after a reboot.

I also want to add that I am actually using the nvidia driver 396.24. Because I had so much problems before... I tried to add the graphics-driver ppa as advised by @Chris McDonough. I do not know if finally this helped me a little. Maybe I should switch back to 390.

My graphical interface is really a mess since the upgrade to 18.04 :-(
