Bug ID: 366275
Summary: SDDM freezes after long time of use and locked for a
while
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.7.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: crash
Priority: NOR
Component: Look & Feel package
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: how2h...@hotmail.es
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
After more than 8 hours of usage, if the desktop gets locked for inactivity and
stays for more than half an hour (or less, not sure), sddm freezes and I can't
enter the password, I can see the cursor in the input field but it's frozen
(not blinking). No matter what I do, I can't unlock it.
I can, however, move the mouse cursor (try to click on the input from each
display), and switch to another tty.
I've never been 8 (or more) hours continuously, so there are moments where the
desktop gets locked (for more than half an hour) and I can unlock it entering
the password.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just do whatever you do (work, play, watch videos, etc), but the computer
must be running for more than 8 hours (no matter if it gets locked once in a
while).
2. After said time passed, wait for half an hour without using it.
3. Move the mouse so the screen(s) turn on and try to enter your password.
Actual Results:
You cannot enter your password, the inputs are frozen and there are no
reboot/shutdown buttons, so you have to reboot switching to another tty.
Expected Results:
You should be able to enter your password and continue what you were doing.
I'm on Manjaro (Arch Linux) 16.01.1. OpenRC instead of Systemd. Linux 4.7.
System specs:
- Intel Core I5-4670k
- 8 GB of RAM (2x4)
- AMD R9 290 (video-ati)
- 3 monitor setup
