Bug#733026: kde-workspace-bin: kscreenlocker_greet -- unable to unlock session, unable to type password.
Package: kde-workspace-bin
Version: 4:4.11.9-1
Followup-For: Bug #733026
I have a similar problem and some more input to provide.
I spent my entire Sunday trying to nail down the problem but not much
luck. :-(
In my case, I have the problem with the Plasma Overlay Screen Locker.
That, if enabled (i.e. locked), the same symptoms show up. The desktop
cannot sense mouse clicks or key presses.
But here's the dirty part. Before concluding a bug, I tried it on a
different (clean) user. And there, the issue was not seen.
Which means, there's some old setting cruft over the years that is now
conflicting. Unfortunately there's nothing in the error messages or the
logs.
For now, I have resorted to using the "Simple Locker" screen locker
type. That one does not have any issues on my box, under my regular user
account.
KDE has become very intolerant to its own settings that it piles over
the years. I have had 2 unresolved issues so far: RedShift per activity
effective settings and this KDE lock issue
PS: To the bug submitter. You may also want to verify it on a clean user
account. For your bug report, I tried running kscreenlocker_greet
manually and was able to successfully kill it.
