(In reply to Fabian Vogt from comment #9) > Please add it back and run the commands again - they assume the line was > active. > Added the line "UserAuthFile=Xauthority.temp" to section [Display] in /etc/sddm.conf again. Result: sudo sudo xauth -n -f /run/sddm/* list hostname/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 035594cc2ff0ee82aaa4d016b3ef5a60 sudo xauth -n -f /home/michael/Xauthority.temp hostname.localdomain/unix:0 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 035594cc2ff0ee82aaa4d016b3ef5a60 So NOW they'vc identicalvalues, but the /run/sddm/* entry does NOT have a FQDN. No idea why, does this have an impact? Remark: As said, with the UserAuthFile=Xauthority.temp line I'm NOT able to login anymore, hangs, even with the previously working old sddm pkg. Have to revert after testing for this issue.
