Description klarnorbert 2022-08-24 19:16:03 UTC 
SUMMARY
When switching users, choosing Unused session instead of a new session cause the system to drop you to an empty tty without graphical interface.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Switch user with kscreenlocker
2.  Log into an unused session(you can have these if you switched user with a new session then log out)
3.  You get a tty without graphical interface where you can login and type 'startx' to start X11
4. If you log out from this "corrupted" session, you can't switch back to an another user

OBSERVED RESULT
Linux tty without X11 started

EXPECTED RESULT
Seeing SDDM login window

Seems like it's related indeed, yeah.

KScreenlocker is actually not involved here; all the logic happens in SDDM. Can you re-file this at https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues? Thanks!
