Bug#1059410: sddm: DisplayServer=wayland caused a complete lockout
Package: sddm
Version: 0.20.0-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
Thank you for packaging SDDM. After creating a file named /etc/sddm.conf.d/use_wayland.conf
with the following content:
------------
[General]
DisplayServer=wayland
------------
SDDM showed a black screen and captured keyboard inputs preventing me
from switching to the tty consoles, locking me out of the system.
Rebooting multiple times did not help.
(I had to resort to booting with systemd.unit=emergency.target)
