Bug ID: 485976
Summary: Can't run Rescue Mode
Classification: Plasma
Product: Breeze
Version: 6.0.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: mikar_gibb...@yahoo.com
CC: uhh...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Unable to run Rescue Mode. This should be an option in the Login Screen:
1. Always available, could be added to the "Plasma", "Plasma (X11)", "Plasma
(Rescue once)", "Plasma (X11, Rescue once)".
2. Always available, could be a checkbox if you click the button to enter your
user name manually.
3. Shown only if the previous boot didn't finish, lasted less then 5 minutes,
the CPU never reduced to less then 50% after boot, Session Restore never
stopped opening new windows, etc.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enabling "System Settings/Session/Desktop Session/Session Restore/On login,
launch apps that were open:" to "On last logout".
2. Open flatpak Notepadqq 2.0.0~beta (flathub-beta) with multiple tabs, some
unsaved.
3. Open flatpak LibreWolf 124.0.1-1 (flathub) with multiple tabs in multiple
windows.
4. Reboot to login screen.
5. Login.
OBSERVED RESULT
6. Device Hangs. Many more windows of Notepadqq and LibreWolf will open then
before. For T Notepadqq last session tabs, Notepadqq is opening T windows, each
containing the T previous tabs. For T tabs from W LibreWolf last session
windows, LibreWolf is opening the W previous windows plus many more windows
that just contain an empty new tab (It may be opening T windows but hangs
before I can find out).
EXPECTED RESULT
*unreported bug exists*
Repeat Steps 1. to 6.
7. Hold down power button for 5 seconds til device loses power.
8. Boot device to login screen.
9. Displayed in the login screen, is either an always present option or present
after an incomplete/questionable last boot option to boot into "Rescue Mode"
that ignores the Session Restore Settings while in Rescue Mode (or if needed
reboot with "systemd.unit=rescue").
10. Disable Session Restore, fixing system without using another device to
search for hours for a solution, like entering rescue mode, but none of which
actually work to enter Rescue Mode. (Adding "systemd.unit=rescue" to the end of
the "linux" line in GRUB didn't work. Using Ctrl+Alt+F2, in the Login Screen,
to run a terminal then using "systemctl rescue" didn't work).
11. Create new account with kde and file a bug report.
12. Wait (for Session Restore fix, then wait for upstream to patch, then wait
for my distro plus DE to patch).
*reported bug fixed*
13. Enable Session Restore.
14. Reboot. Session Restore correctly reopens apps with multiple tabbed windows
and doesn't hang.
