This depends on the display manager aka login manager. The working laptop has "gdm" (and what appears is wayland) and xfce further on. The "non working" laptop has "sddm".
Thanks for confirming and the additional information, Carlos!
A quick check on two boxes shosw that they both are running sddm. I can't check the other ones, since I have no net access to them ATM.
Thus, choosing a different display manager would be a temporary workaround?
Or definitive. Each one has different features, and apparently gdm has the feature of "blocking the session" on change of "seat", without using the screensaver for that.
Did take a while to understand how a missing bug can be considered to be a feature ;-)
From the perspective of a user, it is not obvious that different components are involved to provide the "lock screen" feature. So, from user-perspective, I'd call it "bug".
If you are using KDE you could try kdm.
Thanks for the suggestion! Have installed it now. How would I actually activate it? I can't see any configuration option in the system settings...
Notice that entering the password on the screen saver is faster than what gdm does, as you have to enter the user first.
Yes, that's annoying. One more missing feature ;-) -- Josef Wolf jw@raven.inka.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
