1. I start my computer ;
  2. The loading screen appears ;
  3. The login screen appears (but logging in will not work) ;
  4. The screen turns black with underscore ;
  5. The login screen reappears (logging in will finally work) ;
  6. I’m logged in.

It has been like that for a while, I expected this bug to be found & fixed eventually, but after running an update today, it still hasn’t, which is why I’m now posting here.

So, when the login screen first appears :

  • either I have time to type my password & press enter, but afterwards the login screen still disappears then reappears as if I never tried to log in ;
  • or I’m still typing the password while it disappears then it reappears as if I never started typing ;
  • or I wait for it to disappear & reappear, and only then I can finally log in.

What to do ?

Thank you

    are you using any sddm themes? splash screens?

    Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).

      Nope, all default.

      Also check/share the logs (you can use ksystemlogs or gnome logs if you prefer guis).

      I’m guessing you don’t want the last few lines, what am I looking for ?

        Not sure tbh but probably anything around the time you experience the issue. Check the time when the issue occurs, then look at the logs from around that time for any errors warnings. That should at least give you a clue.
