Killing plasmashell from the Ctrl-Alt-F1 terminal did not change anything. Had to restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace.
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., "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 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. -- David C.
