 Posted: Mon Feb 26, 2024 1:00 am Post subject: Autolock not working |
 |
|
I share the same setup of xinitrc and WM with Gentoo and Arch.
I have these lines in xinitrc to start autolock.
| Code: |
#LOCKER="systemctl suspend" # in case of Arch
LOCKER="loginctl suspend"
xss-lock -n dim-screen.sh -- slock &
xautolock -time 7 -locker "$LOCKER" -detectsleep &
|
They work as expected on Arch, but for some reason, they're not working on Gentoo.
I tried redirecting xss-lock and xautolock into files, but they don't seem to
output any errors.
xautolock locks the screen when I manually enter loginctl suspend, but it seems that xss-lock isn't issuing
a suspend after the specified timeout.
| Code: |
$ xset q | tail -4
DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling):
Standby: 360 Suspend: 420 Off: 480
DPMS is Enabled
Monitor is On

I had been running xautolock with slock and was very happy with it, and only stopped using it after discovering xfce4-screensaver.
| Code: | $ grep xautolock .config/openbox/autostart
#xautolock -time 55 -locker slock -corners 00-0 -cornersize 20 & |
Otherwise, not enough information shared about your X system for further troubleshooting.
