You have to understand that with the new Wayland/Plasma desktop setup, the default configuration requires the desktop run on the login terminal (tty1) not as a virtual terminal (traditionally vt7). It can be configured either way, but the new default is to run the desktop on the login terminal. (I'm not exactly sure what drove the change other than differences with systemd and its effect on user session tracking) You need to confirm what your configuration is. If your desktop is running on the login terminal, doing Ctrl-Alt-F1 would not be expected to do anything. E.g.,
my tumbleweed logon session is active in vt6 and the graphical running in vg7. other vt# are available as long as I am in graphical, and available but text does not appear when I drop to multi-user.
"You are running on tty1 and telling the desktop to change to tty1 and expecting to see something happen?"
I haven't used plasma on openSuSE, just with Arch, and there the desktop does run on tty1. That may explain why you only see a change when killing the desktop. It is also why, depending on what form your upgrade took, you may have some lingering config issues. With the desktop running, open konsole (or xterm) and do 'ps ax | grep vt', if you see something like:
$ ps ax | grep vt tty7 Rs+ 11:12 /usr/bin/Xorg -br -nolisten tcp :0 vt7 -auth /var/lib/xdm/authdir/authfiles/A:0-vW7g8H
USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND root 81 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S Mar10 0:00 \_ [kdevtmpfs] root 10389 0.9 0.3 327944 124320 tty7 Ssl+ Mar10 10:23 \_ /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp -auth //run/sddm/{63ffd863-371c-47d7-bc21-99b8476b7848} -background none //-noreset -displayfd 18 vt7
you know you are running on tty7, otherwise you should see tty1.
This is also another reason why I don't do upgrades. (and also why having a separate 'home' partition helps) I preserve home and any parts of /etc, /var and /srv I need, then do a fresh using existing partition for /home and restore any config tweaks, and there is no chance of any change in how 'component X' is configured between the new version and the last version.
have separate home, always, and upgrade every day :o) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
