Bug ID: 419436
Summary: Picture of the day (potd) background does not work in
greeter
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: greeter
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If POTD is selected as the background for screen locker, a black background is
shown instead.
This is due to a failure on `open` in the following call chain with `EPERM`.
#0 createUnnamedFile (file=@0x5635d3cf2638: -1, tfn=..., mode=384,
error=error@entry=0x7fff3facf9a8) at io/qtemporaryfile.cpp:307

The error code causes the temp file creator to not use the fallback mechanism
but at least in this case it probably won't help.
>From reading `greeter/seccomp_filter.cpp`, it seems that write capability is
intentionally dropped for the greeter which is probably why the creation of the
tmp file failed. Judging by the comment at the start of the file about OpenGL
it seems that the correct fix would be somehow initialize kio so that one don't
need to create the file after seccomp is initialized? I'm not sure how to do
that for KIO or I'll probably have submitted a patch instead...
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set screen lock greeter backgroud to picture of the day (default black
picture background). Both Bing and Unsplash shows this problem. Others probably
do too.
2. Start the greeter either normally or just by running
`/usr/lib/kscreenlock_greeter` (or whatever path it is in, possibly with
`--testing`)
OBSERVED RESULT
The background is black. If the command is run from cmdline directly, one
should see output like,
```
kf5.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect
kf5.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect
kf5.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Can not create socket for launching
io-slave for protocol 'https'."
```
which is how I tracked down the location of the error. There's also another
error
```
UdevQt: unable to create udev monitor connection
```
after that that is probably unrelated to this issue but might have the same
cause?
EXPECTED RESULT
POTD background should work.
