Description Morgan Leijström 2018-03-08 19:00:47 CET
Description of problem:
When logging into xfce, screen is plain black.
Switching to another vt and back makes xfce show and work OK.
(i.e Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-F3)

This *may* be a rest of bug 22488, or not.

Workaround: use another DM
Using LightDM, xfce shows up as it should.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
sddm-0.14.0-13.mga6.src.rpm


How reproducible: Always, on this setup
-which is: 32 bit machine with ati x300 GPU, mga6 fully updated as of now

Steps to Reproduce: Boot to SDDM, log into xfce

Log (journalctl -b) booting -> SDDM -> logging into Xfce which is shown black -> hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2, Ctrl-Alt-F3 -> Xfce is then shown and working OK.

Did a full update to Plasma5.12 etc in testing, by issuing

 urpmi --auto-select --searchmedia testing 

Now xfce dispays OK when logging in using SDDM 

So this will probably be OK once released to normal updates :)

Comment 4 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-16 16:24:30 CEST
Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
