Description slartibart70 2017-12-19 23:01:11 UTC

Hi,
maybe this is the wrong topic to place this error to, but in lack of a better category....

I have a multimonitor setup, a lenovo t470p and an external, display-port connected fullHD monitor.
Plasma5 is working fine, no problems at all (besides the lack of proper dpi settings for the external screen)

When i finish working, i log off - ready to put my laptop to sleep by closing the lid and putting it into my backpack. Most of the time i forget that the external monitor is still connected to the DP port, which i normally discover _after_ giving the command to log off of plasma.
Pulling the cord in this specific moment (after logging off and before the sddm greeter is displayed) results in a total black screen on the laptop.

Virtual consoles (2 and up) are still available, but i couldn't figure out how to get a graphical login on vk1 back again to life.

If i pull the cord before logging of, all is fine.

Any idea how to resolve this problem?
Or, at least, how to get the sddm gui login working again?

Need some more info:

Is plasma still running?
Is sddm-greeter running?
Is there anything in the SDDM log? (sudo journalctl -f -u sddm)

please reset bug status when replying

i have to withdraw the bug.
In the meantime, the update to plasma 5.11.5 does not show the bug any more, at least, i cannot reproduce it.
