Cannot unlock screen on NN live ISO

[Marco Parillo]

On the Kubuntu NN Live ISO, Energy Saving now defaults to sleep after a period of inactivity (I think this follows upstream KDE), even on AC Power. If your laptop goes to sleep, you cannot wake it with the password (which should be empty / no password).

Work-arounds:
 - Change the Power Saving default to not sleep on inactivity (at least when connected to AC Power) and the Screen Locking default to not lock the screen automatically.
 - Ctrl+Alt+F3 to log in to the TTY with kubuntu user and no password; loginctl to determine your session ID, then loginctl unlock-session idnumber to unlock the session the ctrl alt Fsessionnumber to get back to your GUI.

The lockscreen *should* be disabled by default. As discussed on Matrix, this is directly controlled by the following file:

https://git.launchpad.net/casper/tree/scripts/casper-bottom/34disable_kde_services

So, unless something has changed in how KDE Frameworks gets the lockscreen information, this is definitely the culprit. And regardless of if there was a change in the KDE Frameworks, we now have to identify that change and work around it.

Ok, so sorry, I could have sworn someone said this was taken care of. That's what I get for assuming.

printf "[Daemon]\nTimeout=0\nAutolock=false\n" >> "$settingsdir"/kscreenlockerrc

needs to be

printf "[Daemon]\nTimeout=0\nLockOnResume=false\n" >> "$settingsdir"/kscreenlockerrc

I do not have rights for casper... will ping some folks

Means they changed the key without notice or documentation.

This is now fixed, thanks all involved.
