Bug ID: 467703
Summary: I got locked out from my account after closing and
opening my laptop lid.
Classification: Plasma
Product: Powerdevil
Version: 5.27.3
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: jwork12...@yahoo.com
CC: m...@ratijas.tk
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have a DELL xps 15 (l501x) laptop with KDE (Fedora 37 with plasma 27.3). I
closed the lid and immediately opened it after the display went dark. At this
point my session was locked with a black screen. I killed the power by holding
the power button.
Since then I cannot login to that account anymore (I get to the login screen,
can enter the credentials and press enter, after this the black screen)
As a workaround I I created a new user (after logging in as root) and that user
works fine.
Following a suggestion at reddit.com/r/kde I used the new account to type (as
root) loginctl unlock-sessions
but this did not help.
Perhaps there is a config file or something that I need to delete? I would like
to be able to access my account in KDE, I did not expect it was so easy to get
locked out :-(
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. cl.ose laptop lid
2. open laptop lid immediately after the screen goes dark.
OBSERVED RESULT
Black screen, no response to keypresses. Cannot use the virtual terminals
CTRL-F1 etc.
CTRL-F2 shows the login screen grayed out, but unresponsive. Laptop fan is
blowing and I see
some disk activity. It is almost as if the session is started normally but
there is a problem with the power state so the display does not work.
How to reset this?
EXPECTED RESULT
Computer is either asleep (flashing on-button, I should be able to press the
button once to wake up) OR wakes up.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The laptop has (in Fedora) two screens, the primary screen uses the graphics of
the intel processor, the secondary screen uses an nvidea graphics card. Not
sure if this info is useful...
