SUMMARY
For one of my clients, I manage Linux VDIs on the side. These VDIs are based on
Ubuntu 20.04, and users are free to choose between GNOME (default), MATE and
KDE desktops. Most of the users have opted for the Kubuntu desktop. In a
testing environment, I am testing an upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04. For GNOME this
goes fine, however for KDE there's an issue with kscreenlocker. It seems as
though once the screen has locked, input (both keyboard and mouse) does not
trigger the unlock/password box in order to unlock the screen.
This is observed both through the VMware horizon client that users need to use
to log in, but also when viewing the VDI directly in VMware ESX
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Kubuntu 22.04.1 LTS on VMware ESX
2. Use VMware Horizon View to log into the Kubuntu VDI
3. Once passed GDM (sadly, this is required by VMware Horizon), use the KDE
Desktop normally
4. Lock screen, and observe that an unlock window is not displayed
OBSERVED RESULT
The lock screen wallpaper is displayed, but both keyboard or mouse input do not
trigger the password/unlock dialog to unlock the screen
EXPECTED RESULT
Keyboard and mouse input trigger the password/unlock dialog
