### 📝 Bug Report: Black Screen After Switching to Auto-login Users (Wayland + X11) **System:** * openSUSE Tumbleweed (latest updates as of July 2025) * Tested under both **Wayland** and **X11** sessions **Problem Description:** When using two user accounts (e.g., `userA`(Auto-login user) and `userB`(normal login user)), switching between users causes a black screen under the following conditions: 1. Switching to **userB** has not issue. 2. Switching to **userA** will enter to blank screen, whether from userB to userA, or from userA to userA. ➡️ **Result:** After entering **userA**'s password, the screen goes completely black. The desktop environment does not load. **temporary Recovery:** * Pressing `Alt + Shift + F2` to input login password again will login. **Workaround Found:** * **Disabling auto-login** in System Settings prevents the issue entirely. ➡️ When both users manually log in through SDDM (no auto-login), the black screen no longer occurs when switching users. Don't use AI to write bug reports. Bugs reported against SDDM should be opened at https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/. |
