Sentry Crash Report:

Description Nate Graham 2023-04-25 22:57:16 UTC 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a laptop and an external screen (in my case, an HDMI screen plugged into a Thunderbolt dock)
2. Put the machine to sleep with Kickoff > Sleep
3. Unplug the external screen
4. Wake the machine up


OBSERVED RESULT
Roughly 25% of the time, the screen locker breaks with the typical "the lock screen is broken" message.


EXPECTED RESULT
The lock screen appears.

Comment 1 David Edmundson 2023-04-27 07:02:03 UTC 
The last time this came up it was because deemed to be because layer-shell-qt was out of date in a binary incompatible way. A recompile fixed it.

That doesn't fully explain why you see it only 25% of the time though.

Can you double check your layer-shell-qt and kscreenlocker builds are up to date and then re-open
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-04-27 13:46:40 UTC 
I can confirm that both layer-shell-qt and kscreenlocker were current  from the tip of the Plasma/5.27 branch at the time this happened. I have now manually recompiled both with clean builds and will try to make it happen again.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-05-04 15:16:15 UTC 
Have not been able to make it happen since then. Perhaps it was a local setup issue. I'll re-open this if and when it happens again.
