What's you CPU (cat /proc/cpuinfo)? You need SSE2 currently for KDE, Gnome (acutally most of GUI stuff) to work.

i redid the install and now got stuck at mkinitcpio -p linux-lts. i installed xfce4 instead of kde. and installed the linux-lts and linux-lts-headers
when i type mkinitcpio -p linux-lts it throws me an error: unable to writ to /boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img please help

Frantic reinstalls usually don't help. :-)
I bet the root cause is librsvg having SSE2 opcodes.. and you did not provide me any information about the CPU you are runnig on.
There is a survey at https://bbs.archlinux32.org/viewtopic.php?id=1407, we would like to know what the current distribution of
CPU models is, so we can make a better decision of what to use as a base.

Ok, librsvg is fixed, now I get when I execute kwin_x11:
The program requires an X86 processor that supports SSE2 extension, at least a Pentium 4 or newer
So something else is lurking now in kde..

SSE2 in qt5-declarative.. let's hope, this is all..

/boot/initramfs-linux-lts.img; is your /boot partition mounted? Can you to a 'df -h'?
Offline
xfce4 should work with the librsvg fix. for KDE and Qt programs wait for qt5-declarative..
Offline
librsvg and qt5-declarative from testing solve the SSE2 problem. You can give those a try to run KDE/Plasma/SDDM..

what is sse2?

Google, my friend, google. :-)

Ok, can you do:
grep FATAL /var/log/Xorg.0.log
grep ERROR /var/log/Xorg.0.log
lsmod | grep nouveau
pacman -Q | grep video
Check against https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau to see if you have:
- the kernel module loaded for nvidia
- no KMS (no kernel mode settings) in grub/sysconfig
- if you have the correct X11 video driver installed
For me it's hard to debug your problem, as I don't own a Nvidia card..
