It turns out, the crashes are because of my setup with 2 local sessions and Nvidia binary driver: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377031. But then again, this setup was running stable for years with KDE 4. | |||
Besides that, the new recommended display managers sddm and lightdm (kdm is not compatible with KDE 5) make it not comfortable to have 2 local sessions (lightdm lost that ability a while ago). Also, there is still no solution for VNC. | Besides that, the new recommended display managers sddm and lightdm (kdm is not compatible with KDE 5) make it not comfortable to have 2 local sessions (lightdm lost that ability a while ago).

= LightDM = | |||
LightDM cannot start 2 local X sessions (anymore) during startup, but new sessions can be spawned easily from the lockscreen, if you install '''light-locker''' and uninstall '''xscreensaver'''.<br> | |||
Install LightDM: | |||
emerge lightdm | |||
emerge light-locker | |||
emerge --unmerge xscreensaver | |||
If you uninstall '''xscreensaver''' however, you will lose auto-lock after inactivity.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
Activate LightDM: | |||
vi /etc/conf.d/xdm | |||
DISPLAYMANAGER="lightdm" | |||
Activate NumLock in X sessions: | |||
emerge numlockx | |||
vi /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf | |||

Redshift is not able to turn the screen to red, if '''ForceCompositionPipeline''' is enabled in xorg.conf. I can somehow fix that by switching to the 2nd local session and back. | |||
