Description of problem: When a user wants to log out from the KDE session, it always ends up on a virtual console and will never return to the sddm for further operations and in journalctl, you can see the following error: "Auth: sddm-helper exited with 3" Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sddm-0.19.0^git20220321.e67307e-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log out from a KDE user session. Actual results: SDDM will crash / not be available after log out and the machine ends up on TTY2. Expected results: SDDM reappears for the user to proceed with further log in. Additional info:
This happens both on Wayland and Xorg.
As of yesterday, I didn't end up on the virtual console but on the sddm greeter screen, with all widgets disabled, including the password-entry. There is no way to go on from. Getting out means switching to the console and rebooting (there may be a better way) However, as of today, after the latest updated for Fedora 36, where - plasma packages have been upgraded from '5.25.2 / 1.fc36' to '5.25.3 / 1.fc36' - sddm-breeze changed: '5.25.2 / 1.fc36' ---> '5.25.3.1 / 1.fc36' - sddm-kcm changed: '5.25.2 / 1.fc36' ---> '5.25.3 / 1.fc36' it's even worse as logging out just brings a black screen ... and that it's. Again, getting out means switching to the console and rebooting (there may be a better way).
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 37 development cycle. Changing version to 37.
I can log out with sddm-0.19.0^git20220321.e67307e-4.fc37 but with latest sddm-0.19.0^git20220921.21e965a-1.fc37 sddm-helper hangs and I can log out only after kill -9 sddm-helper.
