The summary describes the **recovery state**, not the defect. The actual bug: - Restarting `plasmalogin.service` leaves a **black screen on the active VT**. - The greeter *does* start, but only renders on a **secondary VT** (reachable via Ctrl+Alt+F2). - Switching back to the original VT returns to the black screen — it is never reclaimed. So the greeter process starts correctly but **never takes over the active VT** after a service restart. This is a VT/session-handoff issue, not a crash, which is why the standard "attach a backtrace" workflow doesn't apply here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
