I tried uninstalling conky and it didn't work
(In reply to etaash.mathamsetty from comment #6) > I tried uninstalling conky and it didn't work seems like I got lucky the first time I tried after uninstalling conky
I can confirm I am also having this issue. It's not 100% of the time, but happens more often than not. Either the screen is flickering or just black until the mouse is moved or a window on that screen is interacted with. Arch Linux GPU: AMD 5700 XT KDE 5.24.2-1
As a note, the screen the unlock happened on seems to generally fine (as that is where the mouse starts?) I am using a triple monitor setup 1080p - 1440p - 1080p I also saw it when all 3 were 1080 as well though.
Oh I have a single monitor lol

I'm also affected by this bug. OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed with Plasma 5.24.2 GPU: Intel ICL Iris Plus G7 (i7-1065G7) RAM: 16GB LPDDR4X (if relevant) Session: Wayland
