Re: [SOLVED] Xfce4 Light-Lock

Do you have xscreensaver installed?

I possess a device, in my pocket, that is capable of accessing the entirety of information known to man.
I use it to look at funny pictures of cats and to argue with strangers.

Which menu are you using?

If you are using the whisker-menu, then set the command in the "Commands" tab of its properties.

Otherwise, xflock4 hasn't been patched yet to include light-locker support by upstream. As a work-around, create a /usr/local/bin/xflock4 file with the following content:

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
export PATH

# Lock by light-locker, xscreensaver or gnome-screensaver, if a respective daemon is running
for lock_cmd in \
    "light-locker-command -l" \
    "xscreensaver-command -lock" \
    "gnome-screensaver-command --lock"
do
    if [ ! -z "$lock_cmd" ]; then
        $lock_cmd >/dev/null 2>&1 && exit
    fi
done

# else run another access locking utility, if installed
for lock_cmd in \
  "xlock -mode blank" \
  "slock"
  do
    set -- $lock_cmd
    if command -v -- $1 >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        $lock_cmd >/dev/null 2>&1 &
	# turn off display backlight:
	xset dpms force off
        exit
    fi
done

# else access locking failed
exit 1

...and make the file executable.
