Hello,
I am using Lx 4.3 Rock channel with the Plasma Desktop.
When I lock the screen, when logging in it just goes to a black desktop with a mouse cursor. For some reason, VT’s do not show up when I Ctrl+Alt+F so getting logs after will be tricky. There is a weird artifact on the screen instead of showing the console. I’m sure that is probably a resolution setting in the boot line.
I have an nvidia GTX 960 and I am using the regular nvidia install package. I am also using two monitors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Things I have tried thus far:

Disabling the compositor - Lock screen issue
Still no VT’s, just artifacts on the top edge of the primary monitor. Changes have not fixed the lock screen issue.
Halfway there. Using nvidia-current resolved the lock screen issue.
The other issue is because of the nvidia driver and framebuffer. I tried several different grub settings. Failsafe menus would probably behave as normal, but with the nvidia driver loaded VT’s do not work. Since I can’t edit the post further, I will just call the lock screen issue solved.
