Bug 451065

Created attachment 147251 [details]
journal for a boot where the black screen problem happened with the xdg-desktop-portal-kde crashes.

SUMMARY

Logging out of Plasma 5.24.2 on Wayland in a Fedora 36 KDE Plasma installation sometimes showed a black screen with a blinking underscore _ at the top left of the screen. This black screen problem happened about 20-30% of the time when logging out. plasmashell and powerdevil aborted usually 5 times each on some such logouts with errors that the Wayland connection had broken. xdg-desktop-portal-kde aborted multiple times on other logouts with the same errors. Traces of plasmashell and xdg-desktop-portal-kde crashes are the following.

When I switched to another VT and logged in, loginctl showed that the first user session I logged out from was still active. The user session might not have been stopped properly maybe due to the crashes. Running sudo systemctl restart sddm made sddm appear again.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Boot a Fedora 36 KDE Plasma installation updated to 2022-3-2 with updates-testing enabled
2. Log into Plasma on Wayland from sddm on Wayland
3. Log out of Plasma
4. If the problem didn't happen, repeat 2-3 until it does

OBSERVED RESULT
Logging out of Plasma on Wayland sometimes resulted in a black screen and plasmashell, powerdevil, and xde-desktop-portal-kde aborts

EXPECTED RESULT
Plasma would log out to sddm normally
