I am running Kubuntu 13.10 x64 with no special settings.
Now I want to unlock the machine by ssh (the kde screen lock).

But just nothing happens...

Thanks for help!

I appears that they've removed the capability, perhaps because of security reasons. But you can do this:

First get the current dbus session

export DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=`cat /proc/$(pidof kded4)/environ | tr '0' '

' | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS | cut -d '=' -f2-`

Then call quit to kscreenlock:

qdbus | grep kscreenlocker | sed 's/org.kde.//' | xargs kquitapp
