Can't lock screen in KDE

Hello guys,
Please give me advice - how can i debug problem with screen locking in KDE? I don't find any similar problems in arch forums/mailing lists. This problem appeared after update.
Standart Ctrl+Alt+L doesn't work, plasma applet (screen lock) doesn't work too.

Works when i run command from user:
qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock
and from plasma widget on desktop, but not from Ctrl+Alt+L
[dkorzhevin@localhost ~]$ diff <( ps -ef ) <( qdbus org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver Lock; sleep 1; ps -ef )

Can the lock screen be customized to display contact info in iOS 7

Can the lock screen be made to display contact info (ie; to return phone if you lose it). Can a different background/wallpaper be selected? My phone uses a rippling water photo that isn't even an available wallpaper.

You can select a different wallpaper photo for the lock screen (and one for the home screens), including one from your Camera Roll. Write your contact information on a piece of paper and select it as your lock screen wallpaper (the one on the left of Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness > CHOOSE WALLPAPER).
Users have reported issues is getting pictures resized so they correctly. I suggest you try writing in the center of a page of paper, taking several photos at different distances/zooms, and play around with which one is most readable.
Note: This is speculation. I have not tried it myself.

I can't lock screen on Ipad mini. My lock screen button is working for shutdowning Ipad, but don't working for lock screen. Also I tried to lock screen from Assistive Touch and it's not working. When I click lock screen on assistive it nothing happens.

Thank you for that update.
I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

How can I lock screen while in a phone call

My earrings keep muting & hanging my phone calls up; is there a way that the screen can be locked during a call?

If it's not locking automatically, there may be something wrong with your proximity sensor. Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears? It can't hurt.
You can also lock it by tapping the button on the top of the phone.

Can't Lock Screen in Gnome

I've installed xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver but I still can't lock the screen in Gnome. There's a keyboard binding of CTRL+ALT+L to lock the screen and also a menu entry under System but neither of them work, they don't throw an error message or anything. lock_enabled is enabled in gconf-editor as well. Any ideas?

Never mind, restarting the X server did the trick.

[SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5 | Lock Screen Issues

Everytime my computer locks - whether it be manually or automaticly, I get this lock menu with 3 options. The first option has my username and my avatar, which prompts me for my password. Everytime I type in the correct password, the screen turns black and then reloads the lock screen. Which makes it impossible for me to log back into my session leaving me unable to leave my computer on ever. I can create a new Session from the same menu but when ever I do create a new Session after being locked out, not a single app will launch. And I know I am putting in the correct password because when I purposly put in an incorrect password; the screen doesn't turn black, it just gives me a diffrent prompt. Another issue I am facing with KDE at the moment is about 80% of the time when I shut down my computer, I get a crash report from most of the applications running, for expamle kwin. I'm only saying this incase it is relevant, it is annoying but at least it doesn't prevent me from getting work done. Also, I used KDE's suggested SDDM for login.

Oh, that really sucks, I like to use Arch for gaming on Linux so i dont think either of those sound preferable, but I think I will just try to downgrade nvidia then. Gnome atcually has worse issues with the latest nvidia drivers which sucks as well. Thank you for finding this.

Hi theora,
If you haven't already done so, does restarting or resetting the iPhone help the issue?

Can't send photos taken via lock screen

When I take a photo using the new quick access from the lock screen (which I LOVE), when I tap on the thumbnail and view the photo, the little button with the icon of the square and the arched arrow, the one I'd tap on to send the photo via email, text, etc., is missing.
I then have to close the camera app and open Photos, locate the photo and send it from there.
This doesn't happen if I take a photo the old fashioned way, swiping the lock screen and then opening the camera app. When I do it that way, take a photo, and tap on the thumbnail of the photo I just took to view it, the Share button is there.
SO annoying and pretty much cancels out all the excitement of being able to access the camera quicker.
Anyone else experiencing this? Is there anything I can do?
Thanks!

It would make sense in your case that you could send.
But have you also noticed that you cannot see your other camera roll photos in the locked state?
I can see where you are coming from, and would suggest that you mention it to Apple:

They seldom reply, but it might be addressed.

When I power up my ipad air the apple logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough.

When I power up my iPad Air the Apple Logo comes up like it should then the lock screen only comes up for a second or less so I can't swipe it fast enough to get to the home page. The lock screen just disappears. I have to hit the sleep/wake or home button to bring the lock screen back up so I can swipe it. Have others found this situation with the iPad Air. I have an iPad 2 and it does not happen at all. The Apple store checked it out. One rep said to me this is unusual and had a tech check it out and they said this is normal. If the iPad is suppose to be user friendly, why this extra step to get to the lock screen? Are other owners of the iPad Air having the same problem? If so, what have you done to correct it?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

Can you have more than one alert at a time show up on the lock screen?

When i recieve a new message, this shows up as an alert on the lock screen when my phone is locked, as its supposed to. However, if a new alert comes through before i open the previous one, only the most recent one will appear on the lock screen. Is there anyway to set it so multiple messages can be displayed on the lock screen at once?

Yes, you may have more than one "single" subscription, with the photography special counting as a single

The "lock screen button" locks the phone. It will not take you back to the home screen. Thus the difference in the nomenclature for the "HOME" button and the "LOCK" button...

Hi Liz,
Sorry to hear you are having a similar problem. Last night I went to the tool bar at the top of iphoto, clicked on "File", then clicked "Browse Backups" in the drop down menu.    I have an external hard drive that is set up to Time Machine.   The Browse Backups opened the iphoto pages in the Time Machine. I selected a date one day ahead of the day I performed the now infamous update, and it showed my iphoto library as it had existed that day.   I then clicked "Restore Library" at the bottom right corner of the Time Machine screen.   Roughly 2 hours later my iphoto was back to normal.   When I opened iphoto there was a message saying I need to upgrade my program to be compatible with the new version of iphoto(version 9.2.1). I clicked "Upgrade" and within seconds it had done whatever upgrading it needed to do.
The only glitch in the restoration was that it restored the library as it appeared last week, so I no longer had photos I had imported this past weekend.   I simply went back to the Browse Backups in the drop down menu, when Time Machine opened I selected the page showing my pictures from this weekend and again said to Restore Library.   Roughly 45 minutes later the library was restored including the most recent photos.
I am now a happy camper.
I don't know if any of this will be of help to you because your email says you are having trouble with photos imported after the upgrade was performed.   Have you had any pop up notices when you first open iphoto, that tell you you need an upgrade to be compatible with the new iphoto?     If so have you clicked "upgrade"?
Good luck Liz, if you have Time Machine running as a back up to your library, maybe you wil be able to get help there, by following my instructions above.   Otherwise,   good luck with your investigations.   I'd be interested in hearing how you make out.
Karen
