Bug ID: 462530
Summary: Plasma mobile does not have a virtual keyboard
fallback in the lockscreen.
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: 5.26.3
Platform: OpenSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: monkeyboy...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Plasma mobile only allows a virtual keyboard to enter a pin. However, some
systems may never set a pin. This issue causes an awkward login situation when
the system does not have an attach physical keyboard. Some systems like a steam
deck is a tablet with mouse button. I will need to either pair a bluetooth
keyboard or attach one through usbc in order to login or else I am locked out
of my system.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install KDE plasma mobile with alphabetic characters
2. Set the appearance to KDE mobile including the plasma lock screen
3. Start KDE plasma mobile
4. Engage the lock screen.
OBSERVED RESULT
You are effectively locked out until you can find an external keyboard to send
characters to the lock screen. The virtual lockscreen only support a number
pad.
EXPECTED RESULT
A button to reveal the virtual keyboard fallback.
