Hi, I have freshly installed openSUSE Tumbleweed. I setup the Nvidia Quadro 4000 GPU drivers and was testing some features inside KDE. I noticed that when I attempt to lock the screen a message comes up as follows:
Following the onscreen instruction, I am then able to log back into KDE.

When I installed the operating system with the installer I ticked on software selection and system tasks (patterns?), and then installed some additional software such as (but not completely including), Xen Virtual Machine Host Server, Gnome Desktop…
Can you please help me understand why the screenlock feature is not working correctly with the KDE Desktop Environment?
Thanks
