Hi,
in SDDM 0.20, the protocol between the greeter and the daemon changed a bit, which means the greeter from 0.20 will not start properly if the daemon from 0.19 is still running. It's not possible to restart the daemon automatically during/after the upgrade, as this would stop all sessions.
The result is that directly after upgrading to sddm 0.20, performing a logout will end up in a black screen. So instead of logging out, just select reboot or shut down directly.
If you by accident end up at the black screen, press Ctrl-Alt-F1 to switch to a console and press Ctrl-Alt-Del to trigger a reboot. Or log in as root and run "rcxdm restart; exit" to restart the daemon.
Cheers, Fabian
I have 2 monitors on my system. The left monitor is set at the primary. After updating to 20230705 with SDDM 0.20 the cursor is on the secondary ( right ) monitor for me to login instead of being on the primary ( left ) monitor. -- Regards, Joe
