[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.

Interactive Lock Screen Issues

Using an iPhone 5, just updated to iOS 8. When I get a text and swipe left in the lock screen, it does not give me the option to reply from the lock screen. Anyone else having this issue or fixed this issue?

I have been chatting to Apple on Live chat and they have fixed the issue.
Go Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings> This will only reset your settings and your wallpaper and you shouldn't lose any data.
Once phone has rebooted send a test txt to your self and it should work.

Lock screen issues when deleting notifications

I am having a recurring problem where the phone gets stuck when I try to delete a notification from the lock screen. When I swipe and hit Trash, the screen sends me to the password entry screen but every time I hit a button, the screen only bounces to the right then back. I have to double tap the keys quickly just to enter the code. Once this happens and I can unlock to Trash the notification, I then sometimes have the time/date on the lock screen disappear. I have to reboot to get it to work. It's happening on multiple devices, 5s, 5c, and iPad Air, all with iOS 8 (the phones on 8.1.1 and iPad on 8.1). I'm also having TouchID get stuck if it doesn't read after three attempts. Overall, the Lock Screen is pretty unreliable on iOS8.

sometimes seems like the effect may not auto-disappear, as it should. hopefully the "blur with no notifications" is NOT normal.
rebooting the iphone always works to remove the burred effect; and may fix this "glitch", if it IS a "glitch".
but, if your issue is only with notifications blurring the lockscreen, this seems fairly easy to fix, since you can set ALL of your apps to NOT display notifications on the lockscreen. If the iOS doesn't have to display info there, there is no need to blur the background.
you should note that there are things other than notifications that WILL blur the lockscreen; so when you say you're getting "blurring but no notifications"; then this could mean that the iOS is displaying some other info on the lockscreen.
Example: for me the blurred screen has to do with AUDIO PLAYBACK, which causes the iOS to display the "playback control buttons" on the lockscreen. When I PAUSE AUDIO, the blur clears up instantly. So, clearly, Apple designed the screen to work this way.
I will be checking to see if a way to remove the "audio controls" from the lockscreen. given new contol center (which I can access from the lockscreen), there is no longer any need for these controls to display on the lockscreen.
I will be trying to remove everything possible from displaying on the lockscreen, to at least minimize this effect. But think we all need to request that apple add an option to STOP the blur effect on the lockscreen.

FM Radio Lollipop Update Locked Screen Issue

Hi All,
After updating my Z1 Compact to Lollipop I face the following problem. When I listen to FM Radio with Sony's supplied single-button earphones with the screen locked if I press the button once it turns off the radio app and then if I press it again it starts the Walkman instead of resuming playing radio. This was not the case on the android kitkat. It's very important to me as I use FM Radio very often. Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Hi,
Sorry to hear. It sounds like the same issue that has being discussed at the Z3 board. I suggest that you follow this thread for further info:

[SOLVED] KDE Plasma doesn't load correctly sometimes

Hi!
I have strange problem, if i remember correctly since the last qt upgrade. Sometimes the plasma desktop just doesnt load fully, my desktop doesn't react on hotkeys, panels doesn't work on any click, superkaramba doesn't load. The only thing that works is the KDE menu, ant if I run an application from there, plasma starts to finish loading (superkaramba appeares, hotkeys start to work, so it finishes the initialization). It doesn't happen at every startup. This wasn't a too big problem, I thought it would be corrected with a new upgrade, but today my kde desktop froze. My computer didn't react to anything, sometimes was able to move the cursor, but after a click, this only function also disappeared. I restarted my computer with the reset button, and I also had some strange things on my monitor at boot, and kdm didn't load correctly, I had only two input areas, with unrecognizable characters. So reset again, and I started windows (i have a dual-boot system), and it also had some stranges stripes at startup, and didn't load correctly. So I turned my computer off, and back again (so not with the reset button), and that time nothing strange happened at boot time, KDE started correctly, but I got a freeze again after some time.
Has anybody had similar problems? Does anybody have an idea what could cause this? I'm not sure it's a software related problem, but it started like one.

It looks like it has to do something with the Nvidia driver, cause I have:

Locking Screen Issue

I'm using a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.4.10, and have set up system preferences to require a password when deactivating the screen saver. However, I am booted off the internet every time I enter the password to deactivate the screen saver. How can I maintain my internet connection while securing the screen? Please advise...
Thanks,
Craig

Make an appointment at any Apple store. The genius bar can confirm whether your phone has a hardware issue or not. If hardware, Apple does not fix iPhones, they replace them, & the cost for an iPhone 4S, if not covered by warranty, is US $199. A third-party repair shop will be cheaper, but if you go this route, you void all warranty/support, as well as the right to an out of warranty replacement.
Sorry, but I suspect those are your only options, at this point.

KDE Desktop Widgets Screen Locker Crashes

Hi,
I'm running KDE 4.11.2 on an Arch x86_64 box. I looked through the KDE bug reports, but I couldn't find a bug filed about this, and I'm confused about where to start looking.
If I use the 'Simple Locker' and lock my screen, everything works wonderfully and as expected. But if I switch to the 'Desktop Widgets' screen locker and lock my screen, everything goes to pieces. The lock screen doesn't show up, and my system freezes.
I'm still able to move my mouse, but everything else is unresponsive, and I can't click on anything. I opened a TTY login to kill the screenlocker, but it wasn't running.
The only thing that worked was rebooting it.
How do I start troubleshooting this?

Kitchi wrote:Any idea if it will be fixed/dropped in next releases of KDE?
In KDE4: no, as there will be no more kde-workspace feature releases. For KDE5/Plasma2 (or whatever it will be called) it's all going to be rewritten anyway, so if it survives it will be in a very different form.
Does that include bug fixes? Apologies if that's a stupid question... I have no idea how the KDE releases work.
I guess that answers the question either way... I'm not marking the thread as solved since the issue still persists.
@Box0 - That's the bug... I did check the resolution mentioned, but it matches my screen resolution. So that can't be the problem. I'm thinking that it could be a permission conflict somehow, with the screen locker trying to access some files that have wrong permissions set.

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

[SOLVED] KDE black screen on resume after suspend

Yesterday I wasted the day investigating this and at the end the problem was not suspending the computer but the KDE lock screen as explained here. I thought to open a new thread so other people would not wasted their time looking into the wrong issue as I did.
Anyway, this is what happens, when KDE resumes, it only displays a black screen and the mouse pointer. The problem appears only when the system suspends through KDE (through the menu, the global shortcut or closing the laptop lid), suspending the system directly through systemd (systemctl suspend) or dbus (qdbus --system org.freedesktop.login1 /org/freedesktop/login1 org.freedesktop.login1.Manager.Suspend true) works fine.
The way to recover is to kill kdm (ctrl+atl+backspace) or to restart kdm (switch to a terminal and execute systemctl restart kdm) .
As explained in the post #12 of this thread, if you use a transparent widget style (I use Oxygen Transparent) you have to add the lock screen to the background opacity exception list, for that go to:
System Settings -> Application Appearance -> Style -> Applications -> Configure … (to the right of 'Widget style') -> General -> Exceptions...
And select both "kscreenlocker" and "kscreenlocker_greet", if they do not exist add them through the 'Add' button.

Hi,
I am also having this issue. After resuming from suspend-mode, I get a black screen with a mouse-cursor. I can follow you instructions up until "-> General". I don't see an "Exceptions"-button/area where I can select the kscreenlocker exceptions. Can you help?

Issue with lock screen language

My OS X Lion language is set to Italian, but when I lock the screen on the locked screen the language is English.
No issue once I log in, I get everything into the italian language, but when I get to the lock screen everything is in English.
I have 2 iMac, in one of them the issue does not show at all, into the second one it does. Into the latter, I had installed a iCloud beta and I suspect that could cause the issue: how do I completely remove it?
Otherwise, how do I fix that? Any hint?
Of course, into system preferences everything is set to Italian...
Thank you.

This seems like quite a serious security issue if keystrokes/commands can be entered on a locked system.
yes, it is. it is a known problem in leopard. it's fixed in snow leopard but unlikely to ever be fixed in leopard as leopard development has stopped.

Has anyone else noticed an issue with the new mail icon on the lock screen?

After updating to iOS 8 there is a new mail icon on the lock screen. When I slide it up I get this message:
"Failed to continue activity- the connection to your other device may have been interrupted- Please try again"
After trying again and again I get the same message and I do not have the "other device" that it mentions. I'm not sure what is going on, does anyone have any ideas?

Nope, have not seen this issue or have this issue myself. Try going into Settings and toggling off that email account, toggle back on and then send a test email to yourself. If it still persists, delete the email account and re-add and try again.

(SOLVED) Lock screen suddenly doesn't work as expected

It doesn't matter which lock screen (PIN, swipe, etc.) I choose, after the first unlock (after a reboot or change of lock screen), the phone no longer locks. Using the power button to lock doesn't work and I have the phone set to lock right away on sleep. It was working fine a few hours ago and there wasn't anything new I did to the phone.
Any ideas?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello, I feel pretty dumb. I must've hit the "Disable lock screen" option in the BatteryBot Pro app by accident...I forgot it even had that option.
If anyone's curious how I solved this, I inspected system messages using OS Monitor while reproducing the problem (ie, flipping through lock screen options and turning off/on the screen) and kept seeing the app's name coming up as well as a few others. I'm not sure why it started disabling the lock screen today though; I'm pretty sure I didn't touch the app in the last couple days.
Anyway, sorry for any inconvenience.

Lock Screen Music Player Issues

Here is the deal:
To the best of my knowledge, there is no solution (as of yet). I am hoping someone can guide me in the event there is.
I carry my iPhone in my front pocket like many people. I don't carry anything other than the phone in that pocket other than the headphones. Yet somehow, almost daily, the music player starts while the phone is in my pocket. If I manage to hear it, despite the surrounding noise and whether the headphones are plugged in, I can usually turn it off and save the battery. However, in many instances, I have pulled my phone out to find that the player has run the battery into the ground. After doing some general research, I have found that this significant problem is not limited to me.
Now I understand that generally, to activate the music player you have to press the home button twice and then tap play on the music player. However, day after day the player starts. I am certain that when the phone goes into the pocket, I press the button on top of the phone placing it in Sleep mode. Regardless of what I do - nothing seems to work and it is my understanding that there is no setting from Apple to disable the music player.
Therefore, I believe my options are limited to the following and hopefully someone can confirm my understanding or offer better solutions:
1.     I can remove every song from my IPhone. Without music, there is nothing to play. Granted it defeats one of the key features of my $600 device;
2.     I can jailbreak the iPhone and rely on the thoughtful functions created by third parties outside of Apple who have thought this process through; or
3.     I can buy a competitive device that is not simply a phone built around a media player.
Frankly, at the end of the day, how is this functionality not a safety hazard? If I am stranded somewhere with no phone battery because Apple decide not to give me an option to turn off the "lock screen" music player function - I would go so far as argue that this is Apple's own negligence. A "lock screen" by definition should LOCK THE SCREEN. This should not be a "lock screen" with certain Apple exceptions. At the very least, Apple should give the owner the ability to determine whether this information is accessible from the outside screen.
Even worse, assume that I have confidential business memos stored in the music player (this is where it stores them). What if my phone was found by a competitor who decided to listen to the memo that I have on my phone - based on the current function, there would be nothing to stop them? Or what if a child finds a phone and the music library contains explicit lyrics. Is there nothing to stop the child from accessing these. I cannot believe that the genuses at Apple did not have the foresight to think of these potential issues with the function - therefore, I believe that there must be a solution and I am not seeing it.
Can anyone help?

I do have a passcode - as I mentioned I am using a LOCK SCREEN which is the password protected screen. My point was that audio memos (like voice memos) are stored as audio files in the music player. They are accessible through the standard lock screen music controls on the iPhone. It makes no difference whether you have the screen locked/unlocked. To the best of my knowledge, there is no setting to turn off those controls which would be the ultimate solution to my problem.
I purposefully don't save such memos becuase I know that anyone can access them.
I am more concerned with the player turning itself on, daily.
