Hello, Last December after an update, I was unable to login in from kscrenlocker. To clarify, when first booting up and initial login, all goes great and I get to the desktop. However, If I step away and the screen locks, I am greeted with:
unlocking failed
To get past this, I change tty, login is as root, and run:
# loginctl unlock-sessions
Which unlocks and allows acces to the desktop. I researched and saw a fix that involved changing /etc/pam.d/system-login
auth required pam_tally2.so
back to
auth required pam_tally.so
However, the most recent pacman -Syu has made this not work anymore.
Journalctl shows:
kcheckpass[11629]: pam_shells(kde:auth): Error opening /etc/shells: Permission denied
Any thoughts on what the correct permission are and where to change them?
Thanks!

So, simple fix... I compared the permissions for /etc/shells on my computer (600) to my wifes computer (644) and noticed they were different. I chmod'd my /etc/shells same as hers and problem seems to have been fixed.
