Bug Description

After upgrade to vivid sddm shows everythin in black so nothing is recognizable. Exept for the fonts, they are in a dark grey.

If I do manage to log in I get a completely black desktop. Background is black, KMenu is black, systray is black, everything.

I'm getting all-black desktop too. But it's literaly all black.
Even if I DISPLAY=:0 mplayer video_file.mp4, that video does not show up.

Once I caught a glimpse of a perfectly well started KDE5 session,
but that happened when I was killing it.

Sounds like there is some kind of a "black curtain" over everything? WTF
