Description cezanne@onlinehome.de 2022-09-24 14:22:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
***
On my new Ubuntu Laptop, it was never possible to switch between particular user accounts (user ids > 1000). The laptop was pre-installed by Tuxedo. Even in the Lock Screen it is not possible to switch to other accounts. I created to additional accounts beside to my own one. It is possible to use those accounts when I log out before.
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open User Switcher
2. Try to switch to another user account

OBSERVED RESULT
No other user account is displayed

EXPECTED RESULT
Other user accounts are displayed and it is possible to switch to those accounts (parallel user sessions).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

What does it say in:

System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen (SDDM) > Behavior > Minimum & Maximum user UID ?
Comment 2 cezanne@onlinehome.de 2022-09-26 19:14:58 UTC 
@Nate: Minimum 1000, Maximum 60000. My accounts have 1000 and 1001 as ids.

Ok, so that's not the problem then. Does it work properly if you click "Switch user" in Kickoff or Kicker?

No, not possible. I remember when the laptop was new, I was able one time to use switch user, but that resulted in a black screen afterwards. It is really strange.

Ok, it seems like this problem is broader and actually somewhere in SDDM. Please file a bug at https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/. Thanks!
