PostPosted: Sun Jun 28, 2015 2:31 pm    Post subject: kde 5 screen locker works too well (won't unlock) [SOLVED] Reply with quote

as in the subject

when I enter the correct password on kde lock screen it just
reports login failed

nothing is posted in the logs (how come gentoo has no auth.log by the way?)

kcheckpass works fine from the command line (after adding a kde file
to /etc/pam.d and setting kcheckpass suid, as the internet suggested)

I'm quite at a loss ...

running the (~) kde 5.3 stuff from portage

It works here on an OpenRC system with sddm although it was a bit screwy and didn't seem to work until I played around with systemsettings5 and rebooted a few times. My problem with the screwiness was the opposite-- it never wanted to lock automatically and then put the LCD in sleep mode.

When I enter an incorrect password I see this in /var/log/messages:

Quote:

Jun 29 12:54:55 gentoo kcheckpass[23495]: pam_unix(kde:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=1000 euid=1000 tty=:0 ruser= rhost= user=david
Jun 29 12:54:55 gentoo kcheckpass[23495]: Authentication failure for david (invoked by uid 1000)


Are you seeing those messages indicating that kcheckpass is indeed getting invoked? Are you using sddm? If so do you see anything weird in sddm.log?

Checking around it seems most past bugs involved PAM in some way... Check '# cat /var/log/messages | grep -i pam' maybe for clues?

thanks for the reply

It turned out (surprise) to be my own fault, not noticing
that kcheckpass is provided by (old) kde-base/kcheckpass
and (new) plasma-workspace

I had the old and new packages installed and the system was apparently
confused

I suppose I should wipe out all old kde-base apps but it still seems that
there is an unholy mixture of old and new required at the moment :?

albright, just to make sure, your issue was fixed after removing kde-base/kcheckpass?

yes, both kde-base/kcheckpass and kde-plasma/plasma-workspace provide /usr/lib64/libexec/kcheckpass

it's the latter that works with kde5

They can't provide it both, otherwise there'd be a file collision. The kde-base/ one is kde4 prefixed iirc

I have this problem.

I dont have kde4 kcheckpass package installed.

I have to chmod +s kcheckpass for it to unlock. When i update plasma-workspace, the file is installed without +s chmod, so i have to do it again.

why is this ?

Both of your systems are set up the same way, using binpkgs?

Thank you.

No, they are both compiled from source.

What they share is portage configuration from here: https://bitbucket.org/alexandre_pereira/gentoo-portage

I update that repository and then mantain specific branchs for each ( hardware differences ). But no binpkg sharing ( one is a i7 sandybridge with radeon, other is i7 haswell with intel+nvidia )

found the problem: /sbin/unix_chkpwd was not set setuid. making it setuid, allows for kcheckpass not need to be setuid

Thank you! This fixed my issue. I am running unstable branch and this is still a problem.

# chmod +s /sbin/unix_chkpwd

@mdshort: The original issue of this thread was fixed. However, your problem can be a symptom of a config issue (please check `$ ck-list-sessions`) or that the latest ~arch version of pam (1.2.1-r1) with USE=filecaps is not working for you, for some yet unknown reason. For reference: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=564618

So using chmod is the general solution here?

Just in case (installed versionn and USE flag)
Code:
0 ✓ xxx@magic /home/xxx $> eix sys-libs/pam$
* sys-libs/pam
     Installierte Versionen: Version:   1.2.1-r1
                             USE:       berkdb cracklib filecaps nls pie -audit -debug -nis -selinux -test -vim-syntax ABI_MIPS="-n32 -n64 -o32" ABI_PPC="-32 -64" ABI_S390="-32 -64" ABI_X86="64 -32 -x32"

0 ✓ xxx@magic /home/xxx $> eix kwallet-pam$
* kde-plasma/kwallet-pam
     Installierte Versionen: Version:   5.6.2-r1(5)
                             USE:       oldwallet -debug

0 ✓ xxx@magic /home/xxx $> ck-list-sessions
Session1:
        unix-user = '1000'
        realname = 'xxx'
        seat = 'Seat1'
        session-type = ''
        active = TRUE
        x11-display = ':0'
        x11-display-device = '/dev/tty7'
        display-device = ''
        remote-host-name = ''
        is-local = TRUE
        on-since = '2016-04-19T10:19:39.868138Z'
        login-session-id = '1'

0 ✓ xxx@magic /home/xxx $> ls -l /etc/pam.d/kde*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 217 12. Apr 16:32 /etc/pam.d/kde-np

0 ✓ xxx@magic /home/xxx $> eix sys-apps/openrc
* sys-apps/openrc
     Installierte Versionen: Version:   0.20.5
                             USE:       ncurses netifrc pam unicode -audit -debug -newnet -prefix -selinux -static-libs -tools KERNEL="linux -FreeBSD"

$> eselect profile list | grep \*
  [8]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma *

Is there anything (else) wrong here?

Not manual chmod, but setting USE=-filecaps for pam.

Unfortunately that didn't help.

There are some entries in the log files, but I don't know if that's related.

Login works but unlock doesn't.
Why does SDDM show "US layout" as (only) selection? The login works - my password contains special characters - so the keyboard layout is actually de_DE no matter what is shown by SDDM.

For now I use vlock as a "replacement", but as soon as there are several users having sessions this becomes a problem.

Unlocking works now, it was either the update to -5.6.3 or removal of
Code:
    -auth        optional        pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4
    -session     optional        pam_kwallet.so
from /etc/pam.d/sddm. The elog for -5.6.2 says that it should contain this:
Code:
-auth        optional        pam_kwallet5.so
-session     optional        pam_kwallet5.so auto_start
-auth        optional        pam_kwallet.so kdehome=.kde4
-session     optional        pam_kwallet.so

I guess that should have helped with the migration of kwallet.
Maybe I did something wrong - at least kmail asked (@-5.6.2) and still asks for login data each time it's started. In KDE4 it was possible to activate a checkbox so that a new entry is made in the wallet when a password was given for the first time. How can I activate that feature?
