JFYI the "Switch User" button being missing is due to Fedora packaging, because at the time user switching was broken. Apparently it still is but the button is visible again, which may be a bug in Fedora's packaging for F38, or it may be an intentional change and the feature is supposed to be working now, but isn't for some reason. I'll investigate. Per comments in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2171316, looks like this was caused by a packaging bug. I'll see if I can track down the bug report for user switching being broken in a general sense. SDDM issue appears to be https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/1660. The lines disabling user switching were removed by https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/kde-settings/c/c48b87a6c5447b9c9b2febe96bf94feae9ad5183?branch=rawhide in kde-settings-38.0-1.fc38 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2150810 That change was reverted due to this problem by https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/kde-settings/c/abdb7005d5e5d8b3ccdc84ffab5bd37b0973d36c in kde-settings-38.1-1.fc38 https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2156292 Switch User isn't shown in the Leave menu of the Application Launcher menu in Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-38-20230221.n.1.iso. The underlying problem seems to be in sddm at the link mentioned previously. Thanks. |
