Since a few days update I’m having some issues with the lockscreen of my system (KDE). After the system locks itself due to inactivity it takes really long (~15-20 seconds) for the password prompt to come up when pressing any button.
It used to be that I move my mouse, the screen turned on and I could input the password to unlock. Now the screen turns on, all I see is the background image for several seconds until the password prompt shows up. Sometimes it shows up in a normal way, other times it does this little shaking animation with the “unlocking failed” like it does when entering a wrong password.
I did install all the latest update since there seemed to be an similar issue that was adressed, but sadly it didn’t fix it for me.
My system (note, I’m running a dual boot system, with the GeForce GT 1030 being the graphics card used for Manjaro):
