Bug ID: 456389
Summary: kscreenlocker suggests switching to a virtual terminal
that doesn't work
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.25.2
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: greeter

SUMMARY
I'm using Fedora Linux 36 (KDE Plasma), and sometimes the screen locker breaks
(I don't know why) and I get the message telling me to switch to another
virtual terminal, and it suggests F2. The problem is that F2 has never worked
for me, and I finally realized you could use any other, eg. F3, which works.
When I use F2, I get a black screen with just the cursor showing. It seems a
fix along similar lines was attempted in
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kscreenlocker/-/commit/e8ea903cc1a3be8576973f030e84d4047fc822aa.
I would recommend simply suggesting F3 since it seems F1 & F2 are commonly
used.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Get kscreenlocker to crash
OBSERVED RESULT
Possibly misleading workaround is suggested.
EXPECTED RESULT
Working workaround is suggested.
