Hi Shai, if you are brave, another test could be upgrading to Norbert's newer packages https://www.preining.info/blog/2020/07/kde-plasma-status-update-2020-07-04/ This would show if it is an issue which is fixed in a newer plasma version and it could make it easier to motivate upstream to look into that. I would expect that at least by uninstalling the packages and reinstalling of the Debian repo would bring you back to the Debian packages, but I have not tried that.

Me with SDDM. I am currently using qdbus --system org.freedesktop.DisplayManager /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0 org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.Seat.SwitchToGreeter to open new users' sessions. I don't know if the problem lies in plasma though. -- Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/ http://perezmeyer.blogspot.com/
Problem switching users from plasma under lightdm
Hello, I've been using lightdm as the display manager on my Debian Testing for a very long time, and have been quite pleased with it. But lately -- not sure since when, I think in the last two weeks -- something broke in the communication between Plasma and lightdm. The screen locker doesn't show "switch user" anymore, and neither does the "Leave" part of the launcher menu. I have the Lock/Logout plasmoid in the systray, which always shows a "switch user" icon, and that works, but is currently the only graphical way to switch user. I've tried running an XFCE session and its logout window had a working "switch user" button, so I'm guessing Plasma is the prime suspect. Has anyone else encountered anything similar? Thanks, Shai.
