Bug ID: 507211
Summary: No video output on other sessions
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version First 6.4.3
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
when switching to another session with Ctrl+Alt+F1 (same thing with F3, haven't
tried any others), I get a blank screen. Both of my monitors say there is no
input video signal and they go into sleep mode. I can't seem to type any
commands, but I'm not sure. Maybe the session is just not logged in or
something. At least, neither blindly typing `shutdown -r now` nor the password
for the only account on my machine, nor the username + password seemed to do
anything. `who` on the main session doesn't show any sessions other than tty2.
Switching back to the main session (F2) works fine, but kwin shows a message
saying that desktop effects were restarted due to a graphics reset.
This is a minor issue, but caused a problem for me when the screen locker
showed a message saying something like "the screen locker crashed. You cannot
log in to this session. Switch to another session and restart from there". I
had to hard-shutdown my PC to get access to it again.
