Description of problem: using KDE Plasma splash screen : unable to type password unless you click on the next user , then come back on yours to be able to type password ..... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mageia 7 - 5.1.14 desktop-1 - KDE Plasma - 64 bits How reproducible: every attempt to login first Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Please can you say: - What Mageia ISO you installed. - If the Classic, is Plasma the only desktop you have? - Confirm that SDDM is the display manager (it will be for Plasma only). - How many users do you have defined? We have been using SDDM/Plasma for years without this complaint. I will add a second user to my own system, and test it.

@ Lucien Can you try whether typing the password and then hitting "enter" works, even if you can't see that any character gets entered?
I cannot reproduce the fault; more exactly, I cannot (yet) reproduce the conditions in which it occurs. I have SDDM, and added a second user to see what happens. Without any login configuration, SDDM shows the last user logged in; to change the username, you have to type it instead. Then whatever password applies. No problem. I will see whether I can get SDDM to present a list of users to click on, as implied by the description.

@lucien Sorry to have left you for so long. At last I have managed to get an SDDM login screen showing all users, and do not see your fault. Can you please post the output of: $ cat /etc/sddm.conf which will show the theme used by SDDM - which effects its display of users. Our normal installation uses theme mga-coffee, which only shows the last (or no) logged-in username; no list. If you are able to get a screenshot of the login screen, or take a photograph, please add that as an attachment to this bug. It will help to simulate a similar situation. If your system language is not English, please install the package 'ibus-gtk'. This sometimes resolves obscure problems.
Does this bug report still valid? No answer since a while. Closing it.
