SUMMARY *** NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports *** STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Using a portable laptop (mine is SONY VAIO VPCEA 490 X) set the "automatically lock screen: After returning from suspension" value from false to true, checking the box; 2. Lock up the screen by simply close the laptop; 3. Once you open it up again and press any button, it will enter you in a lockscreen that is different from any you setted up, and has no response to any password including the correct one. The only way to get out is by clicking in "change user" button, under the password box. This will take you to your real lock screen where you can actually place your password in order to acess your computer. OBSERVED RESULT I were directed as said to a useless lockscreen that does not acept any password and dont has any way out other than "change user" button, that takes me to the real lock screen instead of changing user. EXPECTED RESULT I expected to turn on my computer and see my lock screen there ready to be unlocked, by me or any of my coworkers even if they are older than me. I cant explain every time in details how to unlock my computer because i use a "weird system". SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.27.9 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.9 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0 Qt Version: 5.15.11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION My system is recently installed from a usb drive made from the linuxfx website. I dont know how this works, and its my first time with linux for personal permanent use. I have also found other bug that relates exactly with what ive been going thru, under the 457170 BUG ID. I dont know how this feedback works but if this solves my problem i have some more bugs to tell, such as keyboard options reseting every computer restart or my WINE dont running properly.
(i dont know if i done right by setting it to "crash" but seem to me as a crash level bug since when i had if for first time i were locked up by half an hour ou of my computer trying to figure it out, and one of my oldest coworkers couldnt unlock my computer for my whole lunch period delaying a essencial part of my job by more than an hour so i though it were not preciselly a crash but its crash-equivallent since i always get locked out of my computer unless i do the "trick" of click to change users- sorry if thats a big problem)
Given that this seems to be only reported by linuxfx users, it seems highly likely that this is a downstream packaging issue caused by linuxfx, and not a KDE bug. A better place for support would probably be the linuxfx forums/mailing lists. Feel free to reopen if you can reproduce on the latest version, plasma 6.0, or on plasma 5.27.10.
