The KDE lock screen has media player controls that look like this:



Aquarela do Linux! Jonathan Lewis back pause forward Switch User



I would like to turn this feature off,
as described in D3684 (Media Controls on lock screen) and KDE Bug 384264.



I am running KUbuntu 18.04 with KDE Plasma 5.12.7,
and my lock screen config file looks like this:



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kcfg xmlns="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0
http://www.kde.org/standards/kcfg/1.0/kcfg.xsd" >
<kcfgfile name=""/>

<group name="General">
<entry name="showMediaControls" type="Bool">
<label>If true, shows any currently playing media along with controls to pause it.</label>
<default>true</default>
</entry>
</group>

</kcfg>


/usr/share/plasma/look-and-feel/org.kde.breeze.desktop/contents/lockscreen/config.xml



Accordingly, I have tried to change the showMediaControls setting,
but the setting is not available in the screenlocker menu:



$ kcmshell5 screenlocker


Configure Screen Locking Appearance Wallpaper Type Plain Color Black



Changing the theme from KUbuntu to Breeze or Breeze Dark had no effect.



I also tried changing the configuration from the command line. Since the name attribute of the kcfgfile element is empty, I would expect the config file to be lockscreenrc, so I used this command:



kwriteconfig5 --file lockscreenrc --group 'General' --key 'showMediaControls' --type 'bool' 'false'


However, this had no effect. Even after writing this setting to all these files:



  • breezerc

  • kcmshell5rc

  • kdeglobals

  • lockscreenrc

  • plasmarc

the player controls are still visible on the lock screen. How can I actually remove the controls from the lock screen?
