Description Graham Perrin 2023-07-29 19:45:06 UTC

Created attachment 243694 [details]
relevant lines from sddm.log

Not consistently reproducible, however this bugged me twice in a short period of time, so it's worth reporting. 

Steps: 

 1. use SDDM to start Plasma (X11)

 2. use Plasma for a while

 3. log out

 4. await appearance of the SDDM dialogue

 5. Control-Alt-F2 for ttyv1

 6. login as root

 7. service sddm stop

Expected: 

 8. a fairly short waiting period, then ttyv0 console

Actual result: 

 8. endless blankness/blackout, with a movable pointer

 9. no response to HID input

Workaround: 

10. press the power button (hw.acpi.power_button_state: S5).

Maybe worth mentioning: 

a) a scrub of a pool on a mobile hard disk drive on USB began yesterday

b) it feels, to me, as if this bug is more likely to bite after a long and/or
   intensive desktop session.

Comment 1 Graham Perrin 2023-12-30 06:57:20 UTC

Comment 0 was with 14.0-CURRENT on an HP EliteBook 8570p. From <https://bsd-hardware.info/?probe=2619fadb11&log=pkglist>: 

> unknown-repository graphics/drm-510-kmod 5.10.163_7

Since moving the internal disk to an HP ZBook 17 G2 (Intel graphics disabled, x11/nvidia-driver-470 alone in use): no recurrence of the bug. 

All things considered – not only what's mentioned in comment 0 – I'm inclined to treat this as a drm-kmod issue (not kde@ -specific). 

There's the possibility/likelihood of me enabling Intel graphics, however I can't guess when this will happen (NVIDIA-related issues are my greater priority).
