Description fake.name 2024-06-22 06:50:05 UTC
SUMMARY
As of the 6.1 update a few *hours* ago, it is no longer possible to log in a second time, necessitating full system reboots at all session changes. That is to say that logging in from hibernation, or from a simple logout, is no longer possible. 
What one gets for ones effort: a black screen, blinking cursor, which can type -- but which cannot do anything. It never resolves with time, and no actions -- even attempts to switch to another tty -- can be performed. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Log in
2. Log out
3. Try to log in again

OBSERVED RESULT
Black screen of death.

EXPECTED RESULT
Anything else, for god's sake.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Kernel: Zen 6.9.5
KDE Plasma Version: 6.1
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.3
Qt Version: 6.7.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can't figure out what log to send, since restarting my laptop erases much of the logs.

What distro are you using?

Are you logging out and back into the same type of session (X11 or Wayland), or a different one? And which one are you logging into, X11 or Wayland?

Do you have an NVIDIA GPU?
