That will happen if kscreenlocker_greet has crashed. 

In any case, I'll need the crash dump of that. 

Your attached log is of plasmashell, a different process. 
Apparently in response to a screen changing?

Hi David, thanks for the response!
I do not make any changes, the problem appears after about an hour of lock screen.
You can direct me on which log to take?
the only error trace I see with journalctl is the attached one

Run this /usr/lib64/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet --testing and see if it crashes.

(that path might be subtly different on your distro, please look for that executable accordingly)

If it does crash, hopefully we'll get a drkonqi crash dialog, failing that, please run 

gdb /usr/lib64/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet --testing
and type "bt" when in the gdb prompt when it crashes.

Hi guys, 
after having done some updates after the opening of this task, the described problem has not been repeated. I believe we can close it here
