Bug ID: 361187
Summary: Locking screen in KDE 5.6 gets caught in a loop and
then crashes with emergencyShow()
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux Packages
URL: http://webmshare.com/1RanL
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jcdejourn...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, mgraess...@kde.org
Any manner of locking the screen (timeout, CLI, clicking "Lock" under "Leave"
option in main menu) fails after 3 or 4 times, and prints this error:
The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.\n"
"In order to unlock switch to a virtual terminal
(e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2),\n"
"log in and execute the command:\n\n"
"loginctl unlock-sessions\n\n"
"Afterwards switch back to the running session
(Ctrl+Alt+F%1).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Lock screen
2. Attempt to login
3. Repeat login until screen locker crashes
Actual Results:
The crash screen appears, possibly from this line in the kscreenlocker source:
https://github.com/KDE/kscreenlocker/blob/master/abstractlocker.cpp#L51
Expected Results:
Logged in normally.
I would say this is a major bug in kscreenlocker, as the purpose of a screen
locker is to lock and unlock the screen. As it stands, the unlocking
functionality is broken.
