SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Leave the computer locked for a long time
2. Try to unlock it 

OBSERVED RESULT
After typing the password, nothing happens. Clicking in the unlock button doesn't start the validation, it's just stuck forever on the screen. Upon further investigation, the logs showed it tried reading a nonexistant image; I am not sure this is the root cause, as kscreen_locker itself changed to a valid image after a while and was still unable to unlock

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.7.0
Qt Version: 6.8.0
Wayland + Amd
Linux arch 6.11.5-zen1-1-zen #1 ZEN SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue, 22 Oct 2024 18:31:33 +0000 x86_64 GNU/Linux 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This has been happening before this version, at least since KDE 6.1; I was waiting to see if I could reproduce it before reporting (e.g I thought leaving Android Studio/xwayland apps open were the root cause somehow, but this crash has happened with everything closed and in standby)
