How reproducible:
everytime

Comment 1 Robert Glover 2006-05-03 19:54:41 UTC

I don't know how helpful this is, but when running kdesktop_lock from the
command-line (with kernel 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5), I get the following:

$ kdesktop_lock --forcelock
WARNING: DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QStringList' error
WARNING: DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QString' error
WARNING: DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QStringList' error
WARNING: DCOPReply<>: cast to 'QString' error

Comment 2 Keunwoo Lee 2006-05-04 01:27:57 UTC

I can reproduce.  I suspect this is related to the removal 
of /usr/bin/kcheckpass from kdebase.  See: 
 
rpm -q --filesbypkg kdebase | grep /usr/bin/kcheckpass 
 
This is a curious absence, because /etc/pam.d/kcheckpass is still there.

Comment 3 Brian Daniels 2006-05-04 02:52:29 UTC

Also happening here on an x86_64 system.  It gives the following error for good
or bad passwords:

Cannot unlock the session because the authentication system failed to work.  
you must kill kdesktop_lock (pid) manually.

Worked fine before kde update.

Comment 4 Than Ngo 2006-05-04 10:13:49 UTC

it seems a packacking bug in kdebase that kcheckpass was not included in this
version. I will push new kdebase packacge in FC5 update ASAP which resolves this
issue. Thanks for your report.
