Hello,
i have installed (alpha 2 release) Debian 12 (with KDE) on two machines and on both
the sddm session crashes when i switch the virtual console.
If i am logged in an active KDE session and i switch to the virtual console with: strg alt f2
and switch back i am logged out of my active session but i can't login because the login
screen is frozen with a "pre typed" password.
I can only move my mouse, and pressing any key does nothing.
I don't use KDE. Forgive my speculation.
Q: Where did the "pre-typed" password come from?
A: You typed it. You are looking at tty used by the dm greeter, not
the one used by your graphical desktop session
Q: Where is your graphical desktop session?
A: On some other tty. That is, you didn't "switch back" to your
session. You switched to the greeter. Output from the 'w' command
might give you some clues about who is using what tty.
These are just guesses, unlikely to be correct.
