A Photograph of the Black Display Visible after "Switch User" Has Been Invoked
SUMMARY
When I invoke "Switch User" (via Kicker, at least), I see a black screen,
except for my cursor. I cannot interact with the OS afterward, even to send
SysRq commands. Solely my MB's RESET_SW functions.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
If you want to merely reproduce the uninteractibility, invoke "qdbus --system
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager /org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.Seat.SwitchToGreeter".
If you also want to reproduce the black screen, use "Switch User" (via Kicker –
I really do want to test KRunner and the Application Menu too, but I don't want
to hard-reset my OS frequently).
OBSERVED RESULT
When I invoke "qdbus --system org.freedesktop.DisplayManager
/org/freedesktop/DisplayManager/Seat0
org.freedesktop.DisplayManager.Seat.SwitchToGreeter", the OS immediately
becomes entirely uninteractible.
When I invoke "Switch User" via Kicker, the same occurs, but the display also
becomes black, except for the cursor.
EXPECTED RESULT
I should be sent to SDDM.
