I was doing horrible things the other day and ended up with my KDE login page not working when I came out of sleep.
CTRL+ALT+F2 > text login > loginctl unlock-sessions
I'm aware of the TUI logins (I think f7 is your graphical, but I might be wrong) and sometimes those work too. I've started just saying in because the terminal switching was hit and miss.
But thanks for that loginctl command, I'll have to give that one a try as well!
F7 is generally right, some distros change it up (nixos is 3)
