Bug ID: 479964
Summary: Lock screen showing PKCS#11 error and referring to
smart cards and fingerprint when neither have been set
up
Classification: Plasma
Product: kscreenlocker
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sreeharisreed...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Essentially, I am running KDE Plasma 6.0 RC1, and I have noticed that whenever
I lock my screen, I see some messages show up under the password prompt. At
first, it says "(or scan your fingerprint on the reader)" then under it it says
"Error initializing PKCS#11 module", but then that second message underneath
becomes "(or scan your smartcard)". When the PKCS#11 error comes up, it shakes
for attention, then it silently switches itself out for the smartcard message.
I do not have any fingerprint hardware or smart card readers, and these
messages did not show up when I was running Plasma 5. I installed KDE Plasma 6
through the NixOS flake (https://github.com/nix-community/kde2nix), and enabled
the plasma6 system module.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install NixOS unstable with flakes and bring in the Plasma 6 flake and
enable the Plasma 6 Desktop
2. Log into a KDE Plasma session
3. Lock the screen
OBSERVED RESULT
The previously mentioned error messages display under the password prompt.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would expect none of the messages to come up since I don't have a fingerprint
or smartcard reader, and I would be concerned if a module that should have been
loaded failed to load properly.
