FWIW, I've also seen this once in a while, but not reproduceably. The screen 
lock process was a zombie. Switching to a console and executing
loginctl unlock-sessions 
allowed me to login again.

Problem solved: further investigation showed that it has been user-related, 
i.e. other users didn't have that freezing problem. I set up the affected user 
account from scratch and now everything works fine.

(First I tried to isolate the setting responsible for the freezing, but 
without success.)

Best,

Plasma lock screen stuck

2017-05-05 Thread b-misc 
Hi all,

I've just (dist-)upgraded a laptop from jessie to stretch and now there's one 
problem left concerning KDE / Plasma:

After closing the lid and re-opening it, everything seems stuck, i.e. if I 
enter the password nothing is shown in the password field, and if I click on 
Change User, nothing happens as well. But the machine is still alive and I can 
change to a text console and after restarting sddm using systemd there I can 
re-login graphically again.

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Thank you, kind regards,
Bernd
