It sounds like you messed up the key binding for the enter key and fingerprint scanner. Boot to a live CD, mount your partition, chroot into the OS, delete your changes to whatever file that process you ran uses. You can try just deleting the file and reinstalling defaults if you can find a command that reinitializes it!.
I use KDE on Debian. I have not encountered this, nor can I think of a reason why showkey would break a user's desktop session.
If the GUI login screen is still visible when it hangs, I suppose sddm might be having trouble. To investigate, I would run journalctl -f in a text console, and maybe tail -F /var/log/Xorg.0.log* in another, while attempting a GUI login. When it hangs, I would switch back to the text consoles and see if the most recent log messages hint at what's hanging.
*(Or whichever log file corresponds to the new X session, assuming you're using Xorg instead of Wayland.)
Could the fingerprint reader be causing the problem on the main account?
Thanks. I'll check out disabling the fingerprint reader and see if that makes a difference. Will do those investigations you've suggest too. But at this point it's looking like moving my user data and starting again on a new login.
Another thought: Is it possible that your original user account (which hangs) is trying to log in to an X session while the new one (which works) is using a Wayland session, or vice-versa? That might explain the difference in behavior if only one of the two session types is broken.
How does dark & light mode change on its own? The Bazzite reference I made was I believe I remembered the background changing depending on the time of day or maybe it had a button to switch the modes in the panel with easy access (can't quite remember). On Kinoite I have the screen set to red light automatically at a certain time but the theme doesn't change to dark with it. Is this a possible feature with Plasma?
Wine apparently uses so low level input routines, this was the only way I could find that works properly. Need Control in the right spot to play Final Fantasy XIV. 😄
Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !labplot
I tried it out for a while and I think a new feature? is that you can control de brightness of the monitor through Plasma. Cool for one monitor but I have 2 and one is brighter than the other at a given brightness %, so it got a bit annoying. I didn't look further into it but when 6.1 is released on Fedora I will probably need to.
Additionally the SDR colors when HDR is turned on looked better overall. Better than Windows was able to do even. Awesome stuff
