Double whammy here:
With recent versions of Plasma -6.4 and higher- the lock screen will randomly not register any keyboard input coming out of sleep for me. Mouse works fine. Even if I switch users no keyboard input is detected in sddm.
So, I installed plasma-keyboard and enabled it in System Settings → Keyboard → Virtual Keyboard → Plasma Keyboard (even selected American English) thinking when this happens I can click the Virtual Keyboard icon in the lower left of the lock screem to enter my password. Yet, nothing happens when I click the Virtual Keyboard icon.
My laptop does not have a touch screen, but shouldn’t the virtual keyboard appear when I click the icon?
PS: I made sure plasma-keyboard and qt6-virtualkeyboard were installed.
