SUMMARY From "user switcher" widget i activate few new user sessions. Of course previous user sessions are locked. But if i start switching user session via TTY i can switch without "logging in". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create few users on your desktop (i will use USER1 and USER2 in this example) 2. Login as USER1 3. Via widget switch to USER2 4. Switch back to USER1 from widget you will require to enter password to unlock USER1 session. 5. Now being in USER1 session (without locking it) switch to USER2 session using TTY. 6. USER2 session was locked because you previously have switched to USER1 using widget 7. Login in USER2 session. 8. Now, via TTY switch back to USER1 session... it is unlocked. You can go back and forth between session using TTY without entering the password. OBSERVED RESULT You can go back and forth between session using TTY without entering the password. EXPECTED RESULT When switching sessions via widget or otherwise all other sessions must be locked. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: openSUSE tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.57.0 Qt Version: 5.013-1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Can you reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.17? I cannot.
(In reply to Nate Graham from comment #1) > Can you reproduce this issue in Plasma 5.17? I cannot. I can reproduce this with Plasma 5.17.5, frameworks 5.65, and Qt 5.14. This is on Arch Linux. With two sessions open, switching via krunner locks the session switching was done from, but if I switch using Ctrl+Alt+F?, the session does not get locked
Well I think that's sort of by design. If you switch between sessions via the TTY switcher like this, it's up to you to manually lock them.
