Bug ID: 449577
Summary: Howdy does not work with KSCreenLocker (permissions
issue)
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.23.90
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
Howdy stop working properly (around end of December for me) with KScreenLocker.
At the beginning, I thought it was an issue caused by the Python 3.9 -> 3.10
update, but today I found this issue:
https://github.com/boltgolt/howdy/issues/551
Where it has been suggested that is a KScreenLocker issue. I open this issue so
maybe you can have a look. I can confirm that howdy works just fine with other
applications (e.g. sudo, Polkit KDE Agent, etc.) and it works with
KScreenLocker with the following workaround:
sudo chmod u+s /usr/lib/kcheckpass
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install and configure howdy
2. Lock the screen
3. Press enter on the password field without writing anything
OBSERVED RESULT
Howdy does not work and some entries like this one are added to the journal:
/lib/security/howdy/pam.py[1992]: Can not open module: Permission denied
