Description: Script for Plasma 5 which takes screenshot, when you lock screen, blures it and makes it the lockscreen background.
Dependencies: scrot, imagemagic
Installation: 1. Locate your kscreenlocker_greet file .(mine is /usr/lib/kscreenlocker_greet). 2. Rename it to kscreenlocker_greet-original. 3. Create kscreenlocker_greet file with following content: (Your path of background.png can differ, so find it and replace the path if needed)
For Kubuntu 18.04, the path for kscreenlocker_greet is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet. (I found it with find 2>/dev/null / -name kscreenlocker_greet).
Its a very good idea.
I do this script in one line for KDE4/Kubuntu14 users:
x=http://j.mp/blurwall; wget $x -O ~/bw; chmod +x ~/bw; ~/bw;
I hope this works for you.

Only copy and paste on terminal this line: x=http://j.mp/blurwall; wget $x -O ~/bw; chmod +x ~/bw; ~/bw;
Does it work with dual monitors ? Because currently you cannot have 2 different wallpapers for the lock screen in Plasma 5.
