I'm also affected by this bug. There is always a "RIP Code" warning available through dmesg, after crashing of sddm-greeter. Same graphics:
Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] RS482M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200] driver: radeon Acer 5100 with Turion TL-60 CPU I use Lubuntu. My work around for anyone wanting something usable is Ctrl-Alt-f2 to the terminal, logging in and installing xdm or wdm, at the end of the installation it lets you choose a new display manager, choose xdm if it is what you installed. And it works, you can log in and use it normally. I have not tested other Desktops Environments. Everything works under LXqt: 3D Screensaver, Firefox, video playing, etc. So, If this is a mesa bug, why everything else works? And only sddm-greeter dies? It stands to reason that sddm-greeter does not do anything more complicated or graphics intensive than Firefox, Mplayer or the 3D screensaver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1909171 Title: sddm-greeter segfault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1909171/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
