Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?
Install release candidate 2 and select openbox, then login.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
The login appears stalled. Openbox worked in earlier weekly builds. Perhaps using sddm here makes a difference.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
I logged in with ssh and killed the sddm-helper process. Killing the first openbox process had no effect.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Either openbox should start or there should be a way to return to the login dialog.

Hello,

At first:

How you install it? RC2 bookworm installer NOT provide openboxinstallation option.

sddm-helper is part of sddm package, not openbox.


Finishing this story, I installed a clean system from the RC2 installer,
next installed openbox with sddm. Everything works fine, I can't
reproduce this issue.
