can you try to gdb into the frozen process and get a backtrace?

I see what's happening now: the screen-locker is active on multiple monitors and only lets me enter the password on one of them. All the other monitors show the locker, but don't react to input.

Closing as Worksforme due to inactivity for more than 15 days as per:

This bug was not NEEDSINFO

Certainly still "NotWorkingForMe". Happy to provide more info, but that's all I got for now.

Hi! I am seeing a similar issue for some time. Currently I am running kde plasma 5.16.3 on Gentoo, but the issue has persisted in one form or another for some time. Unfortunately, I haven't found the time to dig deeper in the past.

With the standard intel open source driver, I saw a bunch of hangs which could be prevented by setting LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 and I tried switching to the new intel iris driver, but to no avail.

I now collected backtraces in two conditions:
(1) kscreenlocker_greeter hangs while nothing happens. This can be noted by the clock showing a past time.
(2) After entering my password and pressing enter, the password field got greyed out and kscreenlocker_greeter hangs.

In both cases, the backtraces are identical (except for addresses, which obviously change):

In a probably related issue, I have seen frequent hangs in plasmashell and kwin_x11, which both need to be restarted several times a day to stay responsive.
I will open or contribute to different reports for these, nonetheless, I have the impression that there is a general graphics related issue here.
Also the screenlocker_greeter issue happens more than 50 % of the time.

Cheers,

Jan

> I now collected backtraces in two conditions:

I forgot to explicitly mention that these backtraces were all collected when using the iris driver. I will add backtraces for the standard intel i965 driver, but at least the observed behaviour is the same anyhow.

Just to make sure that the driver does not interfere I checked: the backtraces after not setting MESA_LOADER_DRIVER_OVERRIDE=iris look the same as with the iris driver.

Could you include all threads.

"thread apply all bt"

This just shows that we're blocked and waiting on the render thread to complete.

Can you reproduce with /usr/lib64/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet --testing ?

Hi! This backtrace is when directly calling with --testing . The hang occurred after entering the password.

Is there any more information I could provide?
(I do think that there are general problems -- at least with the intel OpenGL -- stack, as kwin_x11, plasmashell, and krunner also sometimes freeze).
But I don't know how to approach this aspect in a suitable manner.

New information was added with comment #10; changing status for inspection.

Some more testing … with probably unhelpful outcome.
On a machine with an old nvidia graphics card, I cannot observe any issue.

On the questionable machine with Intel graphics, I had a period last week where I haven't seen kscreenlocker_greet lock up for several days in a row. But now I am back to lock up.Of course, there were plasma, frameworks, and mesa updates in between.

I could also observe the krunner, plasmashell and kwin lock ups only on the Intel graphics card,

On an interesting side note, I have observed that not all screens are frozen at the same time, i.e., the laptop display stopped three minutes before the two external ones.

Hi,

I also have the same issue on both my laptop and workstation running Arch Linux. Currently I'm running plasma-desktop 5.19.4-1 from the standard archlinux package repository. Please let me know if I can provide any more info.

I had a similar problem on ubuntu 20.04

Symptom:
Every 1-20 times I locked the screen and entered my password, kscreenlocker_greet would freeze.  It was really sporatic.  I tried the kscreenlocker_greet from ubuntu 18.04 on my ubuntu 20.04 system, and it still froze.  I tried gnome running on X11 and kscreenlocker_greet still froze.  I tried gnome running on Wayland and it DID NOT freeze!  That's an important clue.  The problem is some interaction of the compositor and/or/xserver with kscreenlocker_Greet.

I deleted my home directory (after making a backup) and it did not have the same problem.  I did a binary search on the difference between the directories and after maybe 40 iterations, arrived at this:

Removing one line in my ~/.config/kwinrc made the problem go from on (freezes) to off (stable).  The line is:

[Compositing]
Enabled=false  #This line.

So apparently kscreenlocker_greet is no longer compatible with not using compositing?  I hope this is enough that a kde dev can reproduce the issue and fix this for other people.  I'm all set now.

Here's the kwinrc that makes kscreenlocker_greet freeze:

backtrace kscreenlocker_greet --testing

I've been seeing a similar behavior also on archlinux: from time to time kscreenlocker_greet will "hang", the clock displayed is frozen at the time the hang occurred. The mouse can be moved, but I can't input a password.
The only way I found to be able to unlock is to switch to console, login and kill -9 the process (SIGTERM doesn't seem to do anything).

This is a backtrace of `kscreenlocker_greet --testing` taken on archlinux on a lenovo x1c5 running kernel 5.10.11-arch1-1.
(I'm not sure when I started observing this behavior exactly, it "feels" like it has been multiple weeks/months now)
There are 2 displays connected, when the hang occurs, the time displayed on each screen can be different (in this particular instance, the laptop display showed 10:20:41 whereas the external display showed 10:20:43.

Another thing that might be of interest: the taskbar freezes / become unresponsive multiple times a week.
I haven't got a backtrace for this, but the bahavior seems similar enough that I think it is worth mentioning.

The output of kscreenlock_greet doesn't seem to indicate anything related to this issue:

This issue affects me as well, in exactly the same form as described by jean in comment #18. I've had this issue for a long time and haven't ever bothered looking into it before. I can collect information if desired.

I am on Gentoo, Intel graphics, multiple displays. As mentioned above, the clocks are often different on the two displays, and a `kill -9` knocks it loose again. I also occasionally have to kill and restart plasmashell and kwin_x11, which feels related, but I can't say for certain.

FWIW:

I have this since I just updated from Kubuntu 22.04 to 22.10. I have multiple machine all with Intel gfx but this is the only one with dual monitors. Not sure if it is related to dual monitors or if I missed updating some conf file during the update.

I have been monitoring processes (htop) and logs (journalctl) on the console (crtl-alt F2),  but nothing seems to be consuming lots of cpu or spitting sensible messages. Switching to console and back after I typed the password does make the screen onlock.

gdb backtrace

coming from Bug 465113, hopefully this is somewhat helpful

It mostly shows that the NVIDIA driver is involved. Beyond that, I can't tell. But the issue doesn't seem NVIDIA-specific, as people with Intel GPUs and open-source Mesa drivers have reported experiencing it too.

Hello,

I have 2 laptops on Debian testing (plasma 5.26.90-1, qt 5.15.8+dfsg-2), that regularly fail to unlock after sleep (but not always, haven't identified the exact situation yet).
Here is a journalctl extract that seems relevant (note the "kernel: traps: kscreenlocker_g"):

Please let me know what kind of extra info I can give to help. I'm also waiting for latest release to hit debian-12...

Good luck!

I'm observing the same issue for something like 1-2 YEARS. Now I'm killing it with -9 multiple times a day :-/.
If I remember correctly it started when Intel replaced the old driver with Iris. But I'm not sure 100%, maybe it reproduced even before it.
Please fix it at last...)

By the way, I don't use a multiscreen setup - for me it reproduces on a laptop without the external monitor, and with Intel integrated graphics (I also have nvidia proprietary driver installed but I don't think it's related to it).

Is it still occurring with plasma 5.27.x? Some similar bugs got resolved with this release

Thanks for the information, I just installed 5.27.2, will check if the bug still persists

I almost thought it was fixed :) but it reproduced with 5.27.2 again, after a day of usage. :) I tend to think that it's still slightly better because today I only had to kill -9 it one time instead of several times as it was with <= 5.26.90... But it seems the bug is still there

The error occurred several times again, and actually "kscreenlocker" line doesn't appear every time in journalctl, whereas kwin_wayland failure is always here.
It was still on 5.26.90 (latest available in Debian testing) ; I'm installing 5.27.2 from Debian unstable, will see in the next days and let you know...
Thanks!

In fact it hasn't reproduced for me more since that 1 time. So it seems that it's almost fixed. Only 1 failure in 5 days with 5.27.2 by now :)

Stack traces of hung kscreenlocker_greet

Ok, finally I got another hang with 5.27.2. Attaching stack traces of all threads...

Seems that it still hangs when compositing is disabled, yeah.

Unfortunately that backtrace isn't terribly useful. Please check https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports#Install_debugging_packages

Ok, I can do that, the bug still reproduces almost every time when compositing is disabled

Works fine for me :|

I forgot to report back: I still had the crash with plasma 5.27.2.
It is always in kwin_wayland, so *not this bug*.
Since then I reverted to X11 session to avoid this annoyance, so I don't track the problem anymore, sorry.

hung kscreenlocker stack traces with debug info

Thanks! Looks like two kscreenlocker_greet processes are running and one is stuck in a futex while the other is in a pselect64 syscall. Maybe they're blocking one another.

I don't think there are 2 of them... I always check processes with `ps ax|grep kscr` when I'm killing a stuck kscreenlocker_greet and I always see 2 processes:
1) /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kscreen_backend_launcher
2) kscreenlocker_greet
And I always kill the second one after which it restarts and I log back in :)
So maybe threads lock each other, but not processes...

I'm getting this now, and I do see two instances of kscreenlocker_greet. I also see plasmashell and dolphin using high CPU at the same time.

Next time it occurs I'll kill one and see if that solves for the other.

An easy way to unlock the screen if the locker freezes as root is:
loginctl unlock-sessions.

An issue I've been having for a long time with the locker with a dual monitor setup is that if I try to unlock immediately as it attempts to lock the screen, there is a high probability that the displays will freeze empty, only the mouse cursor will be visible and if I move the mouse cursor to the primary monitor, it will be leaving a trail of mouse cursors behind, which has limited length, i.e. the more I move the mouse, the older parts of the trail are erased. loginctl unlock-sessions does nothing when this occurs, I can only restart the session. I'm not certain it is the same issue as this one, though.

Killing one is working for me, but it's not a great solution. To minimise hassle one could write a script to kill the first process if there are multiple and run it as a cron job every second, but that's obviously not ideal.

I'm also seeing this on Ubuntu, not Arch. But generally only after resuming, not just from locking, and not consistently.

I think I made a mistake marking all of those bugs as duplicates of this one, as on second look, they're all subtly different from what was reported here. I'll un-dupe them and triage them separately. The good news is that the issue described here is now fixed in Plasma 6 with a variety of KScreenLocker changes.
