Package: plasma-workspace Version: 5.21.5-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The attached patch creates additional session definitions for X and Wayland that launch Plasma in a locked state. Using them with auto-login makes for a great combination. I had been looking for something like this for years.
The patch applies against 5.21.5-3, but I have only tested it with 5.20.5-6. Locked auto-login under X works nicely and it's what I'll be using. Locked auto-login under Wayland works, too, but is a rather rocky experience IMO. I also recommend using throwaway user accounts for testing (to not mess up your saved session) and running top/htop on a separate VT during the familiarization phase and keeping an eye on CPU usage. Notable observations from my testing: * kwin_wayland pegs the CPU to ~385% until you unlock the session (with DRM backend on nouveau). I guess disabling some effects could reduce that, but I haven't looked into that. * Consequently mouse movement is choppy, and you have to put the pointer directly over the password field for it to retain focus. * The window dimensions of the kscreenlocker_greet window change once Plasma launches the Task Manager leaving a black bar at the position where the Task Manager would be. * Also upon logout sometimes stray processes (korgac, kactivitymanager, kded5) stay around which consume ~200 % CPU till killed. I can't reliably reproduce this yet, though, so it might be nothing. Regards, Dennis Filder
