Super-L can't login_22.04(wayland)

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 958 / 3 Years ago, sun, october 24, 2021, 11:57:19

Using the Super + L keys, I am unable to access to the login screen(stays in black screen), however, app is still running in the background since the music player is still playing. The weird thing is when using the GUI Lock option from the system tray, it's working fine. This was tested for both x11 and wayland. x11 works fine for both, wayland is the only one with login issue when using Super + L keys to lock.

Kindly advise

This is called a Black screen error or a login loop error.It happens after an update changes some configuration files and so your desktop manager, due to some compatibility problem, does not work properly. X11 is more stable and has less compatibility problems comparing to wayland.

press Ctrl+ALT+f5 on the black screen to enter your tty.
(Ctrl+ALT+f1 to return)

To determine whether configuration in your home directory is causing
the issue, you can create a new user account for testing purposes:

 sudo adduser test

 sudo systemctl reboot

If you're able to log in with the test user, the issue is somewhere in
your regular user's home folder.
