Bug#973933: sddm: auth:sddm-helper exited with 1

[Norbert Preining]

tags 973933 - confirmed
tags 973933 + moreinfo
severity 973933 normal
thanks

Hi Ariel,

can you please look into whether maybe a wrong session was selected (in
particular wayland) and thus failures happened. This is a bug in sddm
which is fixed in -2, but you need to manually select the correct
session.

For now I set this to unconfirmed, moreinfo, and lower severity
accordingly.

Thanks

Norbert

Bug#973933: sddm: auth:sddm-helper exited with 1

[Ariel Molinuevo]

Package: sddm
Version: 0.19.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

after upgrade to version 0.19.0-1 I can't log in to my window manager (I
use Openbox). After running sysmtectl restart sddm.service in a virtual
terminal there's this message: auth:sddm-helper exited with 1.


Regards.
