Bug ID: 358125
Summary: the lock-up can be pass through without typing
password
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.5.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected], [email protected]
When I let my computer idle for some time, it automatically lock-up, and it
used to be then impossible to use my computer without knowing my password.
However, I have found a trick which allow me to open the session without typing
any password.
With my laptop, I first connect my HDMI output to a second screen, then I am
waiting for the idle lock-up to occurs. When it is really locked (not
immediately after the lock-up appears but something like one minute after) I
just have to close the lid and my session is instantaneously reopen without
typing anything.
Also, the panel disappear in the operation.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use a laptop
2. Use a second screen through HDMI
3. Wait for an automatically closed session
4. Then close the lid
Actual Results:
The session is unlocked
Expected Results:
The session should still be locked
I am not sure which severity I should choose, and I don't know whether it is
reproducible on another computer. However it seems really serious and not much
reassuring.
