Description Kevin Wolf 2021-02-02 12:19:46 UTC
Description of problem:

After the sddm package was updated, I had problems with switching to another user in a shell running in Konsole with 'su'. After entering the password, it took a long time until anything happened, and when I finally got the shell, I couldn't start any graphical programs: The DISPLAY variable wasn't set, and if I set it manually, the programs couldn't connect anyway.

Downgrading back to sddm-0.18.1-8.fc33.x86_64 resolved the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sddm-0.19.0-5.fc33.x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade to sddm-0.19.0-5.fc33 and start a KDE session
2. In a Konsole window, run 'su - otheruser'
3. Try to run a graphical program, e.g. run 'firefox'

Actual results:
After step 2, there is a long delay. In step 3, Firefox fails to start.

Expected results:
No delay in step 2 and the program can successfully start in step 3 like with previous sddm versions.
