Debian Multimedia :: Type "xlock" In A Terminal And It Would Lock The Screen Until Came Back And Typed Password?

Feb 10, 2011

When I was using AntiX, I liked how I could just type "xlock" in a terminal and it would lock the screen until I came back and typed my password. I saw that there was no "xlock" package, so googling around, I saw it was replaced with xlockmore and xlockmore-gl, neither of which there seems to be a package for in the Squeeze repositories. I tried xscreensaver, but I prefer the simplicity of xlock (and I like that it doesn't leave a daemon runnig when not in use). Is there a way to safely install it, or should I just be looking for an alternative?

Ubuntu :: Running Command After Lock Screen?

Jan 15, 2011

So I have a script that runs from 'Startup Applications'. That works fine. However, I also want it to run after I unlock a locked screen such as after suspend or a screensaver. I have mod3+t as a shortcut to it, but it would be nice if I could get it to run automatically.

Ubuntu :: Natty Unity & Lock Screen Command?

May 1, 2011

I just upgraded to Natty on my Dell 10mini. It runs great but I was wondering what the command-line input for locking the screen. I'm trying to bind a command to a key that will lock my screen and suspend my session all at once, but all I can find is the command for suspend. gnome-screensaver-command --lock doesnt seem to work on unity (obviously). Is there a variation of it that I can use?

Debian :: Deactivating Caps Lock Via Command Line?

May 27, 2011

is there a way to deactivate Caps Lock via command line? I mean: no matter whether Caps Lock is either active or not, issuing such a command would deactivate it. I'm not talking about disabling the key.

Debian Multimedia :: KDE Lock Screen Not Working

Jul 11, 2015

Just upgraded to Jessie from Wheezy. The process went smoothly.

I've noticed the lock screen is inescapable. The "Unlock" button does nothing, the keyboard is completely disabled, and all I have is a clock to stare at for all of eternity until I force a reboot. It doesn't hang or freeze, I'm just unable to get out of the lock screen. I've tried configuring the widgets and stuff in the System Settings, but I can't make it usable.

It was working perfectly in Wheezy, and is a pretty important feature that I use all the time when other people are around and I need to leave my station.

Debian Multimedia :: Lock Screen With Xscreensaver After Suspend?

Jul 1, 2011

I have set up minimal debian installation with pekwm, tint2, xscreensaver and friends. When I press Fn+F4 on my thinkpad or run pm-suspend from root terminal, it suspends just fine (yay), but when I resume, I get instantly logged in into my account. What I'd like to have, is that xscreensaver locks my session after suspend, so that I have to type in my password in order to continiue working.

PS. In /etc/default/acpi-support I have LOCK_SCREEN=true

Debian Multimedia :: No Lock Screen Appears After Waking Computer From Suspension

Jun 3, 2015

I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce Desktop Environment.

I was unhappy with the lock screen on Xfce so I removed xscreensaver and wrote a short custom locking script, which basically involves using i3lock along with some additional commands to make things pretty. I was able to change the default locking behaviour by modifying /usr/bin/xflock4 to run my_lock.sh.

Unfortunately, no lock screen appears whenever I suspend ie after waking the computer from suspension I don't need to type a password in. I would like to force Xfce to lock the screen with my_lock.sh before actually suspending, but I don't know how to do this.

I know that Xfce runs Code: Select allxfce4-session-logout -s when suspending, but xfce4-session-logout is a binary file which I cannot edit.

Debian :: How To Use The Terminal Command Line?

Apr 28, 2010

direct me to a good beginner's guide to Debian? Or explain some things briefly. Where can I learn how to use the Terminal Command Line? How do you add programs to Debian and what all is supported? What are packages in Debian and what can they do? Installing programs is different as expected. I tried installing Firefox, I downloaded it and extracted it into my home directory. I can run it with the Terminal Command: ~/firefox/firefox [When in the home directory] and it works. Is that how it is intended to work? Just random thing there. I guess in a sense, I just really want to learn about every aspect of Debian Linux in a user-friendly type environment.

Debian Multimedia :: Command In The Terminal Can't Find Anything?

Aug 11, 2010

I just decided I'd give Google Chrome a try. Installed it via the google repository and it went fine.

However, every now and then it just vanishes from my menu and it can't be found again, also the command in the terminal can't find anything.

So, what's left is to reinstall it, and during reinstall it doesn't even whine about already being installed.

Anybody else with this matter? I am running 64-bit Squeeze.

Debian Programming :: Command Followed By And Still Closes With Terminal?

Jan 4, 2014

Running debian wheezy. I noticed recently, whenever I fork a process using "&" from a terminal, such as

Code: Select allleafpad &

it starts up, shows the processid in the terminal, but every time when I close the terminal, leafpad gets killed. However, I create a simple bash script,

Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
leafpad&
exit

The script launches leafpad, then exits out leaving leafpad running, as it should. Is what I mentioned above normal? I'm confused, because I think I used to be able to do this in terminal without it depending on the terminal to stay running.

I guess I'm remembering wrong. As it turns out, commands begun on terminal get closed with terminal unless, as mentioned, you use nohup or start subshell. Process hierarchy and tracking etc.

Debian :: Change A Terminal Bkgnd By Command Line?

Feb 9, 2011

I'm sure it's possible, but I haven't found an elegant way to do it. I can't just use the GUI since I want to integrate this line of code into a greater shell script for this project.

My preferred terminal is terminator, but it doesn't really matter at this point.

Debian Configuration :: Terminal Don't Fill Entire Screen?

Sep 8, 2011

I started my Debian 6 machine today and the terminal (Alt+Ctrl+F1) is only using the top left area of the screen. The resolution is correct but the whole screen just isn't filled with text. When I log in and run startx the GUI is in a very small resolution.

I've tried everything I can find with GRUB_GFXMODE and GRUB_GFX_PAYLOAD but nothing works.
