ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

SDDM password input UI not updating on login screen (i915 T2)revision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:23 UTC via poll

Problem

After Hyprland crash or logout, the SDDM login screen shows but the password input field does not visually update while typing. No cursor appears, no characters are displayed. However, the keyboard IS functional - typing is registered and the password works (just not visible).

Environment

  • Machine: MacBookPro16,1 (T2)
  • GPU: Intel UHD 630 (i915 active), AMD Navi14 (blacklisted)
  • OS: Omarchy Linux 4.0.4, linux-t2 kernel
  • Display: Hyprland 0.56.2 + SDDM auto-login
  • Two detected outputs: eDP-1 (3072x1920) and Unknown-1 (3584x2240 at 1920x0)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Let Hyprland crash (or force logout)
  2. Wait for SDDM greeter screen
  3. Try to type password
  4. Observe: no cursor, no characters visible in password field
  5. Press Enter: password is accepted (input was registered, just not displayed)

What works

  • Keyboard input is registered (password works)
  • SDDM screen is displayed
  • User can log in blind (type password, press Enter)

What doesn't work

  • Password field visual feedback (cursor, characters) doesn't update
  • Feels frozen but is actually a rendering issue

Possible causes

  • SDDM theme rendering issue on i915 DRM
  • Qt/Wayland rendering issue after Hyprland crash state
  • Dual-monitor configuration (Unknown-1 extending desktop) causing compositor issues
  • i915 cursor rendering issue on T2 Mac

Relation to other issues

  • Not related to the original lockscreen DPMS wake race (fixed via Service.qml dim-to-5%)
  • Might be related to Unknown-1 extended desktop issue (same i915 display path)
  • Similar to omarchy#11208 (lock screen freeze after resume) but different trigger

Workaround

  • Type password blind and press Enter
  • Switch to TTY (Ctrl+Alt+F2) and use command-line login
