Fedora 41 KDE after login the tty changes

Hi since I updated my Fedora 40 KDE system to Fedora 41 I have the issue that after I login in the sddm and KDE is already started another tty is created where the sddm is displayed and it prompts me to login again. I also see that the splash screen does not get displayed for 30s or so after logging in through sddm (I do not know if that is relevant). I would apreciate getting help debugging this behaviour as I am relatively new to Linux and do not know how to.

output journalctl -kab

Edit:

Additional behaviour I have watched. It seems like this behaviour only occures on the first boot of the day as after a reboot the tty does not open.

Do you have the rpmfusion nvidia drivers installed?
What is the output of `inxi -Fzxx’?
You can login on a console, type ctrl-alt-f3 to get a login prompt.

Yes I have the nvidia rpmfusion drivers installed.
Here is the output from inxi -Fzxx

if the kernel version and KDE plasma version do not match with the system information above that is because I tried updating to the latest version

The spec of your system gives me no concerns.
After you get returned to the login screen note the time and then look at the system journal leading up to that time for errors.
You may also need to check the user journal for the same time as the error may not be in the system journal.

I am closing this as it seems updates in last few days fixed this issue for me
