SUMMARY

Since some recent upgrade (`zypper dup`) when logging out, it _may_ happen, that instead to facing SDDM, only a black screen with working cursor shows up. 

```
13:03:19 dbus-daemon[2059]: [session uid=1000 pid=2059] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.Shutdown'
13:03:19 kded5[2250]: X connection to :1 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
13:03:19 kaccess[2429]: The X11 connection broke (error 1). Did the X11 server die?
13:03:19 systemd[1993]: app-kaccess@autostart.service: Main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
13:03:19 systemd[1993]: app-kaccess@autostart.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
13:03:19 kwin_wayland[2077]: QtDBus: cannot relay signals from parent QObject(0x55e8460d68f0 "") unless they are emitted in the object's thread QThread(0x55e845f5f108 "libinput-connection"). Current thread is QThread(0x55e845d9d060 "").
13:03:19 xdg-desktop-por[2107]: Error reading events from display: Datenübergabe unterbrochen (broken pipe)
13:03:19 kded5[2195]: The Wayland connection broke. Did the Wayland compositor die?
```

Unfortunately I do not have any more hints. Coredumpctl does not report any related crash dump.
I can still login in a different tty, but it seems all I can do to recover is to reboot.

Unfortunately not.

Only Fedora was affected by bug 467547 (due to PAM configuration) and on top of that the sddm-0.19.0-10.1 package in openSUSE has the fix.

Well, after having faced the issue several times across multiple reboots, it seems now to have gone (openSUSE Tumbleweed 20230413).
