Hi everybody,
I'm a long time user of Fedora + KDE/Plasma desktop but this has never
worked: sometimes, I want to switch user from a Plasma session, i.e. I
want to open a new Plasma session while the first one still runs in
the background. When I do that, I just get a black screen.
On this laptop, I'm running Fedroa 32 with Plasma and kdm. I also have
the proprietary Nvidia driver from rpmfusion*.
Has anyone ever been able to switch user correctly with Fedora? with
Plasma+kdm? Is it due to kdm, should I use another one?
Thanks in advance,
F
* removing the proprietary driver is not an option because my children
use the laptop to run Minecraft and it is much smoother with the
proprietary driver and they complain already that they do not have
Windows...

You might want to ask on the Fedora KDE list. The preferred desktop
manager for KDE/Plasma is SDDM and there has been some discussion of
switching issues.

Thanks, I will switch to sddm and see if it's better.

If everything fails you can always switch to lightdm.
It works for me :-)
BR, Bob
I tried sddm but it didn't work properly, I did not manage to come
back to the first session. I'll try lightdm then!
Note that in the past, I moved from sddm to kdm because of a bug (full
back screen).
Thanks

not more success with lightdm, I just get a black screen with a login
as if I had done Ctrl+Alt+F2 but the screen then blinks.
Once again, this would be better discussed on the Fedora KDE list. Many
people have had problems with switching and it's something that's being
actively worked on. There was a thread about it a couple of months ago
IIRC. I didn't mean to suggest that changing the DM would fix these as
that's not where the root of the problem lies.

thank you Patrick, I will write to the KDE list. You think this is
related to Plasma? No issue with people using Gnome?

As I recall the only discussion I've seen about this is on Plasma, but
I don't really remember the details.

Eventually, I fixed the issue!
I was using the 340xx nvidia driver instead of 390xx recommended for
my GT560M GPU.
I remember now that I had to go to 340xx a long time ago because 390xx
was not maintained anymore with kernel updates.
It now works with kdm and sddm so I switch to sddm as it is recommended.
I discovered the issue when I switched to the latest kernel and got
nvidia driver not launched (I had the wrong screen resolution, so it
was obvious that something was wrong).
However I had to blacklist nouveau, otherwise, the nvidia driver did not launch.
Thanks for help.

This is standard practice. The kernel picks up the built-in Nouveau
driver by default.
