Screen locker is broken

Wed Aug 03, 2016 2:07 pm
I have recently switched to KDE Plasma and I am currently facing the following problem: When the screen is locked a black screen will be shown with the following:

The screen locker is broken and unlocking is not possible anymore.
In order to unlock switch to a virtual terminal (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F2), log in and execute the command:

loginctl unlock-sessions

Afterwards switch back to the running session (Ctrl+Alt+F8).


Although the above is a good workaround to unlock the locked session, is there any solution how this can be avoided and thus the screen can be locked successfully?

Thanks in advance.

Can you run

/usr/lib64/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet --testing and attach the output.

no such file or directory..

I found it at
Code: Select all
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec


but it doesn't give out any useful information

Code: Select all
~$ /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet --testing
Locked at 1477341013


1. I have run it,
2. clicked on "swith user" button,
3. Choose my wife session,
4. And once again I have the same issue on screen :(
