Bug ID: 519873
Summary: kscreenlocker_greet blocks further unlock attempts
after one wrong password
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.6.4
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: Screen locking
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If I enter an incorrect password even once on the lock screen,
kscreenlocker_greet does not allow me to make another attempt afterwards. I can
type the password, but neither the Enter key nor the corresponding icon next to
the password field has any effect.
I have to press Ctrl+Alt+F3, log in to the console, and run:
killall -9 kscreenlocker_greet
This issue is consistently reproducible on all of my computers. On one of them,
the following systemd script helped, but on the others it does not work.
#!/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
