Description Pulfer 2015-03-26 14:23:01 UTC

Caps Lock warning is always on with Breeze SDDM theme. There's no such issue with screenlocker or small testing QML application used to read data from keystate engine. SDDM 0.11.0.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Rajeesh K V 2015-03-26 15:36:45 UTC

Also reproducible here with 5.2.1, x86_64 Fedora 21.

Comment 2 Pulfer 2015-05-02 12:32:52 UTC

Also battery indicator is showing 0%. Looks like SDDM just cannot read from Plasma dataengines.

Seems to be a packaging bug, /var/lib/sddm should be owned by sddm, not by root.

But fixing ownership brings another issue - quite a big lag between plymouth being closed and sddm being shown. Likely because of kbuildsycoca5 running.
