• Switch user causes screen to go blank

    From C.T.F. Jansen@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 22 12:10:01 2024
    Greetings,

    When ones does a switch user from the application launch button then the
    screen goes blank and it stays that way until re-booted.
    This seems to have been introduced in Debian 12.

    Looking around there is no fix to this, only work arounds of varying effectiveness.

    One work around is to do a command line

    xdg-screensaver lock

    There might be something one can click on somewhere to have the same effect.

    With this I've so far been able to start another session without loosing anything.
    To go back to the first login I had to do a ctrl-alt-f2 then back using ctrl-alt-f7.

    This is a bug. It needs to be fixed.

    Initiate a screen saver lock then hack away at ctrl-alt-whatever until
    one has by-passed the "issues".

    If there's a better way or actual fix one would interested to know about it.

    Cheers
