--- Comment #9 from vs <[email protected]> --- This error appeared on all of my computers at the same time a few months ago. I did not upgrade the distribution. I have the same messages in my logs as quoted above, including in the auth log: 2026-03-12T18:26:18.389383+02:00 gbs-mb kscreenlocker_greet[106347]: [PAM worker kde] Authentication attempt too soon. This shouldn't happen! If I log in through a separate session and kill kscreenlocker_greet, everything starts working normally immediately, so there is no actual login blocking on the system side. And I’m using KDE Neon — a distribution maintained by the KDE team — so in this case, the distro configuration and kscreenlocker_greet should, in theory, be consistent with each other. As a workaround, I can of course set up a watcher and kill kscreenlocker_greet, but that looks a bit awkward: #!/bin/bash journalctl _COMM=kscreenlocker_g -f -n 0 | stdbuf -oL grep "Authentication attempt too soon" | while read -r line; do echo "KDE Lock bug detected. Resetting greeter..." killall -9 kscreenlocker_greet done -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
