Bug#843693: sddm: starting sddm results in white screen with active cursor and keyboard
Package: sddm
Version: 0.13.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Installed task-lxqt-desktop. Replacement of lightdm by sddm resulted in inability
to log in. Screen presented is all white, but cursor is visible, and keyboard
functions appear to be intact.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Reconfigured to use lightdm and was able to log in to the system. Removed lightdm,
installed xdm, and that was also successful for logging in.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Have left system temporarily configured to use xdm until sddm is fixed.
