** Description changed: Lubuntu 19.04 (x86_64) QA-Test install dell [optiplex] 780 (c2q-q9400, 8gb, amd/ati cedar radeon hd 5000/6000/7350/8350) On first boot, i expected to see (on either display) a single login box for username/password. Instead I got a box on each display (as if mirrored) but noted the password was only appearing as dots on one screen. With experimentation, I can enter different passwords on each display - if I press <enter> whilst inside the valid-password box I get logged in, if I press <enter> on an invalid password screen (with valid password on the other screen) I get login failed correctly. As such I don't see how this could be miss-used, but it is a little confusing/distracting (at first), but minor. After login, if I logout I get the same two user/boxes allowing different entry in each. No change after reboot. My displays are differently aligned to the default; but this occurred on reboot before any adjustments were made to displays (to match my having one tilted-left so portrait mode etc) -- Addition 2019-04-06: Is this a bad thing? or a feature It creates no real issue; and I couldn't see how to miss-use it. My primary box (d960 with multiple DEs) didn't use `sddm` so I I switched to using `sddm` and I love it. As I often turn one display off, it's a huge plus. - + -- Further Addition 2019-04-10 + I just installed openSUSE Tumbleweed over a Leap install that went bad weeks back, and noted it did exactly the same thing. A `zypper info sddm` shows version 0.18.0-7.1 (this is not unique to Lubuntu's sddm) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 19.04 Package: sddm 0.18.0-1ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.0.0-7.8-generic 5.0.0 Uname: Linux 5.0.0-7-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.10-0ubuntu23 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: LXQt Date: Fri Mar 29 14:26:22 2019 InstallationDate: Installed on 2019-03-29 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 19.04 "Disco Dingo" - Alpha amd64 (20190326.1) SourcePackage: sddm UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ------ The following (snippet) is from my QA-test comments --- (between steps 2 & 3 I had to use lxqt.prefs-monitor.settings to adjust my display to match portrait & my display organization for the little sanity i have left..) // maybe the display change caused this??? I forgot I did that... I'll add comment on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sddm/+bug/1822230 --- Could it be that the LXQt.Prefs -> Monitor.Settings change I made before install impacted this?? Even if this change has caused issue, it shouldn't... --- first line of /etc/apt/source.list deb cdrom:[Lubuntu 19.04 _Disco Dingo_ - Alpha amd64 (20190326.1)]/ disco main multiverse restricted universe
