Actual results: No Text Cursor, black screen Expected results: Text Cursor for password, no heratic behavior Additional info: Host is Fedora 27. KDE Plasma sddm working well
It's likely a video driver or theme issue. I'm not familiar with lxqt to know if it uses any custom themeing or not.
Installing lightdm (which totals about 6MB including deps for the default LXQT spin) and then switching to lightdm.service at least allows one to login.
This seems fixed in Fedora 29.
