Description Alexey Rochev 2018-09-13 14:47:45 UTC

Other distros provide PAM file with plasma-workspace package (e.g. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/plasma-workspace/blob/master/f/kde or https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/kde.pam?h=packages/plasma-workspace), but on openSUSE you need to install a display manager for this (you don't need use it, you just need its PAM file). If you don't, Plasma's lockscreen will refuse to unlock.

What's the usecase for that setup?

It would be possible to just ship the same file as xdm and sddm do in kscreenlocker and point KDE4_COMMON_PAM_SERVICE to it. It only contains includes anyway.

>> What's the usecase for that setup?

I prefer to boot system in multi-use mode and launch X via startx is needed.

Comment 3 Fabian Vogt 2018-09-30 10:51:33 UTC

kscreenlocker in KDE:Frameworks5 ships its own PAM file now.

Submitted to TW and will be part of Leap 15.1.
