Big thank you @maxxedout! I have had a black screen instead of a login screen for about two weeks after a dist-upgrade to my aptosid machine, and
      Code:
apt-get install libqt5xcbqpa5
brought back my login screen. No other suggestion I had found in the last two weeks did anything to help.

After my dist-upgrade, startx would fail to start with a message:
      Code:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (operation not permitted)
and the fix suggested by maxxedout worked. I'm typing all this here so someone else with a similar Plasma 5 transition headache might be led here by a web search.

The situation around libqt5xcbqpa5 is still a mess...


Thanks for the info slh,

I've been using Sidux / Aptosid since 2008 and this current DU has introduced the biggest issues I've experienced so far. Thankfully these forums are very helpful, and I have a system that is mostly working so I can still get work done. I expect thinks will stabilize over the next few weeks, months.
