Yes.

In syslog I see, e.g.:
2024-06-15T22:01:03.517821+02:00 twentytwo sddm[1402833]: Auth: sddm-helper 
(--socket /tmp/sddm-auth-e05fef53-ea3e-46c0-bea9-88063f3db194 --id 2 --start 
/usr/bin/sddm-greeter --socket /tmp/sddm-:0-fDrYVa --theme 
/usr/share/sddm/themes/debian-theme --user sddm --greeter) crashed (exit code 1)
2024-06-15T22:01:03.517853+02:00 twentytwo sddm[1402833]: Error from greeter 
session: "Process crashed"
2024-06-15T22:01:03.517873+02:00 twentytwo sddm[1402833]: Auth: sddm-helper 
exited with 1
2024-06-15T22:01:03.517907+02:00 twentytwo sddm[1402833]: Greeter stopped. 
SDDM::Auth::HELPER_AUTH_ERROR

I also attached the journalctl output from the last week (I filtered for sddm).

Is there some docs how to trace this down? For a normal programm, using the 
debug version running in gdb 
or stracing it I know, but for X (display managers/login managers)?

I can try them.

You too and thanks for the feedback
