Bug ID: 476457
Summary: When SDDM theme crashes, user is left with useless
login screen
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org

"whoops i broke the computer"
SUMMARY
I believe this is quite severe - unless a user knows how to toggle to a
different virtual console (ctrl alt f1, f2, ...) then they may believe they
"broke their computer".
SDDM really needs a default/stable login screen that it can fall back to.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Using plasma settings, set sddm login screen to C64-Classic-Fancy (I am not
picking on this particular theme, though I will file a separate lower prio
issue about themes in the selector)
2. Reboot (or restart X)
OBSERVED RESULT
End up on the screen shown in attachment with a large virtual keyboard and no
UI. (For context this is a 34" monitor, so the keyboard size is absurd in any
scenario.)
