Bug ID: 451273
Summary: Can't unlock kscreenlocker by entering the user
password
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.18.8
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: k...@avihay.baratz.org
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See
https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Version: 5.18.4.1-0ubuntu as far as I can tell (The most up to date version on
Kubuntu 20.04LTS)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Lock the screen from the menu
2. Type password
3. Press Enter
OBSERVED RESULT
Nothing happens, screen only contains the lockscreen wallpaper, no matter what
I type or key combo I press. Lock screen is totally inoperable.
EXPECTED RESULT
Lock screen UI shows, focused on the password text field with the entered
password
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.8.18
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The only workaround I found is to have a pointing device connected to the
computer, and input some event from it. Then the lock screen functions normally
(AKA: to unlock, wiggle the mouse and then type the password).
This worked fine in Kubuntu 18.04LTS (without the cumbersome workaround)
