Bug ID: 378906
Summary: Ktorrent disables automatic screen lock
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.5.5
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ofn...@gmx.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, mgraess...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
In System settings>Desktop behavior>Screen locking, I set a time-out of 2mn. I
leave the system alone and lock-up doesn't happen after 2mn.
Then I remember I have Ktorrent running with the "Prevent going to sleep"
option. I quit ktorrent, wait 2mn, and the screen locks up. Some more trials
show that screen lock up doesn't happen if ktorrent is downloading and ktorrent
"Prevent sleep" option is set.
Screen lock-up occurs if either
* ktorrent is not running
* ktorrrent has no active torrent
* ktorrent "prevent sleep" option is not set
I do appreciate the usefulness of the "Prevent sleep" option, but it shouldn't
interfere with screen lockup. This is a security issue.
I made my experiments with ktorrent, but it is unlikely that ktorrent
explicitly prevents lock-up, so this would be an unwanted coupling of the
"Prevent sleep" function and other applications could have the same problem.
Version of the component is hard to tell... Running KDE from Kubuntu 16.04
which seems to be KDE Framework 5.18, while System Settings report v5.5.5.
