I am locked out of my desktop session and the screen locker will not diaplay the user/password entry fields to I can unlock it.
What to do? How can I now get back in to my desktop session so I can complete the cleanup of the remaining running interactive processes and preform a graceful reboot of my system? Is there any to kill the screen locker and get back to a normal desktop session? Any ideas (short of a shutdown from another login to the system).
the command: dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver /ScreenSaver org.freedesktop.ScreenSaver.SetActive boolean:false should theoretically unlock the screen ( http://thebigbyte.blogspot.de/2010/05/how-to-lock-unlock-kde4-screensaver.ht... ), but I couldn't make it work from a console here right now, maybe you have more luck. qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 0 2 1 should shutdown KDE and reboot the machine, and qdbus org.kde.ksmserver /KSMServer org.kde.KSMServerInterface.logout 0 2 2 should shutdown KDE and halt the machine. Untested here, if it would work from an console. Both commands work from a terminal within the KDE session, though.
Thanks,
