The journalctl log when the screen locker started. The "broken" msg came on
around 14:13.
SUMMARY
The latest KDE updates seem to have broken the screen locker. After the screen
locker starts, it eventually crashes. Sometimes it happens after a few
minutes, sometimes after a lot of minutes. When it crashes, the screen goes
black & has a "broken" message saying this:
Screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.
In order to unlock, switch to a virtual terminal Ctrl+Alt+F2 and execute
loginctl unlock-session 2.
Afterwards switch back to the running session Ctrl+Alt+F1
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Let the screen locker come on.
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The screen locker crashes after a random amount of time. It always crashes
eventually.
EXPECTED RESULT
The screen locker should stay on without crashing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In my case, I have the screen locker set to slideshow. It changes images every
10 seconds. It works fine displaying & showing the images, but eventually, it
will crash & show the "broken" message described above. I'm including an
attachment of the journalctl log after the screen locker started. The screen
locker was working like normal until it crashed & showed the "broken" message
at around 14:13. I logged back in about 2 minutes later.
