Description of problem: I have spotted this recently (VM) that whenever I leave the VM unattended and let the screen dim and lock. It is then impossible to get back to the session because the screen stays black and unresponsive. The VM even does not respond to the Ctrl-Alt-F3 combo to switch to the console and it must be restarted. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kscreenlocker-5.22.5-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Leave the KDE session alone until it locks screen and dims. Actual results: The screen stays black and does not respond to anything to unlock. Expected results: The screen should respond to keys or mouse moves to unlock.

Proposed as a Blocker for 35-final by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because: I am proposing this a blocker because it might violate the following release criterion "Shutdown, reboot, login, logout" as login to the session is disabled when this issue occurs.
Possible candidates from upstream: KScreenLocker: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kscreenlocker/-/commit/e31b987ba64c74f563fc0f071eda117d99913f15 LayerShellQt: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/layer-shell-qt/-/commit/4a439143baf75b9a00cf17a3b7a34ae9ac93c68a
I can see this consistently also in F34 on bare metal. I have no problem after a simple screen locking, but when the screen goes in power saving, at the resume I get exactly the same message reported here: https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/518831-The-screen-locker-is-broken-and-unlocking-is-not-possible-anymore I can see some segfault related to kscreenlocker in the logs, I'll try to post them here.
We had a report in chat that this isn't observed in 5.22.90 on X11. It would be good to know if people are seeing this just on Wayland or on X11, too.
I didn't see this happen in my vm. I let it running for a few hours with bunch of screen dims/locks and I was always able to wake the vm screen up and get to the running session just fine. The only difference that comes to my mind - I am using virtio (3d) with enabled OpenGl in my vm, can test it without the hw gl later. kscreenlocker-5.22.5-1, Wayland session.

I haven't seen this in my testing in VMs either, and I quite often let them go idle like this. I'm also using virtio in a qemu VM, like František.
Update: since the segfaults in the log I provided seem related to the patches noticed in comment#2, I have made scratch builds of kscreenlocker and layershellqt 5.23.0 for F34 and updated my system. Now at resume from power saving I don't have segfaults anymore, but the greeter is not showed, only a black screen with mouse pointer, so I'm not sure if backporting those patches will make any enhancement.

I tried to reproduce this today on a bare metal machine (AMD processor) and on a virtio based VM (no acceleration), but I could not reproduce it. KScreenLocker behaved normally. It seems that this might be limited to certain configuration, either on a VM or real hardware.

-4 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/539 , marking rejected.
I quickly tested with a qxl and virtio driver, but didn't see the issue.
