Lock screen ignored

Recommended Posts

Hi,

Installed the default linux OS on a tinker board 2S.  Once logged in the lock screen option just doesn't work - either from the top right menu, or (more annoyingly) the win-L key combo.  Work around is to "switch user" but I'd really like to know how lock screen is broken!

Thanks

hello @Nige

i guess the hotkey you're looking for is ctrl+alt+L (xflock); xflock calls light-locker to lock the screen

Thanks - I found that but it also didn't work.  light-locker seemed not to be installed by default.  sudo apt install light-locker  (IIRC) did the trick.
