Step 3. Describe the issue

When I click the logout button in Caelestia Shell, the session does not terminate correctly.

Instead of returning to SDDM, the screen turns black and only a blinking cursor is shown. The Hyprland session does not exit properly.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Caelestia Shell panel
  2. Click on "Log out"
  3. Screen turns black with blinking cursor
  4. Session does not return to SDDM

Expected behavior:

The system should properly exit Hyprland and return to SDDM login screen.

This happens on:

  • CachyOS
  • Hyprland
  • SDDM as display manager

If needed, I can provide logs.

Reminder

  • I agree that it's usually impossible for others to help me without my logs.
