SUMMARY If POTD is selected as the background for screen locker, a black background is shown instead. This is due to a failure on `open` in the following call chain with `EPERM`. #0 createUnnamedFile (file=@0x5635d3cf2638: -1, tfn=..., mode=384, error=error@entry=0x7fff3facf9a8) at io/qtemporaryfile.cpp:307 #1 0x00007fb41161153d in QTemporaryFileEngine::open (this=0x7fb3f0007bb0, openMode=...) at io/qtemporaryfile.cpp:367 #2 0x00007fb4115f9ced in QFile::open (this=this@entry=0x7fff3facfb00, mode=mode@entry=...) at ../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/global/qflags.h:120 #3 0x00007fb41161228c in QTemporaryFile::open (this=this@entry=0x7fff3facfb00, flags=flags@entry=...) at io/qtemporaryfile.cpp:969 #4 0x00007fb40d8baa5e in QTemporaryFile::open (this=0x7fff3facfb00) at /usr/include/qt/QtCore/qflags.h:118 #5 KIO::ConnectionBackend::listenForRemote (this=this@entry=0x5635d3cf2470) at /usr/src/debug/kio-5.68.0/src/core/connectionbackend.cpp:143 #6 0x00007fb40d8bce5a in KIO::ConnectionServer::listenForRemote (this=0x5635d3cfc210) at /usr/src/debug/kio-5.68.0/src/core/connectionserver.cpp:56 The error code causes the temp file creator to not use the fallback mechanism but at least in this case it probably won't help. From reading `greeter/seccomp_filter.cpp`, it seems that write capability is intentionally dropped for the greeter which is probably why the creation of the tmp file failed. Judging by the comment at the start of the file about OpenGL it seems that the correct fix would be somehow initialize kio so that one don't need to create the file after seccomp is initialized? I'm not sure how to do that for KIO or I'll probably have submitted a patch instead... STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set screen lock greeter backgroud to picture of the day (default black picture background). Both Bing and Unsplash shows this problem. Others probably do too. 2. Start the greeter either normally or just by running `/usr/lib/kscreenlock_greeter` (or whatever path it is in, possibly with `--testing`) OBSERVED RESULT The background is black. If the command is run from cmdline directly, one should see output like, ``` kf5.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf5.kio.core: KIO Connection server not listening, could not connect kf5.kio.core: couldn't create slave: "Can not create socket for launching io-slave for protocol 'https'." ``` which is how I tracked down the location of the error. There's also another error ``` UdevQt: unable to create udev monitor connection ``` after that that is probably unrelated to this issue but might have the same cause? EXPECTED RESULT POTD background should work.
