Description:

I tried to open some GUI applications through another TTY using DISPLAY=:0 environment variable attribution with no luck. CTRL+ALT+DEL open the shutdown screen, right? It appears somewhere since I can just press enter and shut down the machine, but it doesn't appear on my screen. I'm on X11.

Another user had the same issue and stated that it's working fine on Wayland-> https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/qa485a/black_screen_with_totally_responsive_pointer_and/


Additional info:
* Plasma 5.23.0-1 from upstream
* I restarted sddm with journalctl --follow running -> File attached to the report.

I tested KWin 5.23.0-2 and 5.23.0-1. Same behavior on both.

The problem was the Command Output widget(print) at my taskbar. I just removed it before the upgrade and it's all fine now. I even added it again.

I didn't have to update the widget, just removed it from my taskbar before the upgrade and added it again after.
