Description Oliver Reeh 2023-05-26 07:48:31 UTC
SUMMARY
***
When connecting the display or switching the display input it takes ~45 seconds before any application can be started; the cursor simply starts spinning but nothing happens.
In addition a session logout is not possible when the display is or was connected during the session.
***

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. connect display or use the integrated KVM switch

OBSERVED RESULT
~45 second delay before any application can be used
session logout no longer possible (blank screen with a cursor) - reboot works
