The issue: kscreenlocker would just reject any input.
I was getting logs like:
| Code: |
kscreenlocker_greet: PamAuthenticators: starting authenticators
kscreenlocker_greet: PamAuthenticators: state changing from PamAuthenticators::Idle to PamAuthenticators::Authenticating
kscreenlocker_greet: [PAM worker kde-smartcard] Authenticate: Starting authentication

Eventually I discovered it was probably using /etc/pam.d/kde which was somehow was empty. This happened after I did updates so might have messed up one of the config merges.
Not sure what's supposed to be in there, and here's my question. I tried coping the contents of various /etc/pam.d/ files into the kde one to recreate it. Coping the contents of /etc/pam.d/system-local-login into the kde file seems to have gotten the lock screen working as it should with password authentication.
The contents copied into the kde file are:
| Code: |
auth include system-login
account include system-login
password include system-login
session include system-login
|
I just want to double check that's what it's supposed to be? |

auth include system-local-login

Maybe I am wrong but in the future I think you could just move or delete that file and install the program that it belongs to in order to get the default config back. |

Thanks! I just tried (backing up) then removing the file and re-emerging kscreenlocker and it regenerated the file. I'll remember that in the future. |
