KDE Plasma can't unlock session after a long suspend

Sometimes I leave my computer, attached to an external monitor, on, and then it goes to suspend. If I don't come back to it in a few minutes, when I do wake the laptop, the Plasma lock screen doesn't display any password prompt, and in some cases doesn't even update the time on the clock it's showing. My systemd journal reads:

 kded5[5457]: ktp-kded-module: "gabble/jabber/google_2dim_1" requested presence change error: "RequestedPresence 0 cannot be set on yourself" 

which is extremly strange.

I've put the systemd log in https://pastebin.com/PBubFJq3

I have no explanation of this bug...

Anybody here has any clue to why and how this happens?

Re: KDE Plasma can't unlock session after a long suspend

It happens because there are so many bugs in the framework and the applications which don't get fixed.
Some of the bugs are really annoying, but I wouldn't want to switch to anything else.

I had my lock screen freeze pretty often a while ago, sometimes it would just be black, and sometimes it'd show the screen just before locking the screen(hence the clock).
"Blindly" giving password and Enter helps most of the time.

But, I didn't have freezes of the lock screen since 5.20.4 5.76.0 . At least I can't remember.

Edit: Post is now "lock down" free.
