Bug ID: 431959
Summary: Can't unlock screen using KScreenLocker at all --
Password is always incorrect.
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcheckpass
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: david.alejandro.ru...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
On a full plasma -git session (Frameworks and Plasma Workspace/Desktop and
everything else from git master), kscreenlocker(-git) will *always* say
authentication failure. Trying to get any proper information by using the test
greeter application is quite useless as it'll just say "Authentication
Failure".
Logging anywhere else works. TTY works, so I can just switch to a tty and type
loginctl unlock-session 1, but this is not ideal. I can also "switch user" to
my own user and it'll unlock the session just fine.
I checked all the culprits: capslock is off, so is anything else that could
make this not work. I actually even clicked "show password" and looked at it,
the password is correct.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to unlock your computer on -git plasma
OBSERVED RESULT
Unlock doesn't work at all.
EXPECTED RESULT
Being able to unlock my session with the correct password.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: 5.10.9
KDE Plasma Version: 5.21.80
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.79
Qt Version: 5.15.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Whole session is git master. KScreenLocker test greeter logs will just display
"Authentication Failure" no matter what.
This has been reproduced by all users of the plasma-git session from
chaotic-aur. The PKGBUILD used for kscreenlocker is
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=kscreenlocker-git, but
trying just the normal kscreenlocker (not from git) doesn't work either.
