Ubuntu :: Lock Screen Without Screensaver Running?
May 7, 2010Is there an easy way to lock my computer screen without a screensaver running? What I'm trying to do is basically fire up a web browser or terminal window that I want to watch/monitor but lock my screen so that it can't be changed unless you know the password to log in as that user.

Jan 15, 2011So 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.

View 6 Replies View RelatedFedora :: 15 - Unable To Lock Screen
Aug 8, 2011I'm using Fedora 15 with Gnome 3 on my laptop. I don't restart the system unless there's an update that requires me to, preferring to use the Suspend feature instead. However, I noticed that after an uptime of a few days, the screen doesn't lock anymore. Neither the shortcut 'Ctrl+Alt+L', nor the terminal command 'gnome-screensaver-command --lock' seem to work. I'm sure restarting the system will enable me to lock again, but I don't think I should restart just to get this feature back.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is there some other way to lock the screen?

Fedora :: How To Change GDM And Lock Screen Image
Apr 20, 2009To change the GDM image all you really have to do is right click on the desktop and hit "Change Desktop Background" and select the picture you want and then hit the "Make Default" button and both will change naturally. (The lock screen and GDM Login background)Then just switch it back to your usual desktop wallpaper and go on about your day.

Nov 20, 2009I just installed Fedora 12 earlier today using preupgrade. Everything seems to work alright, but I do have a couple of problems. I've had this happen twice already, but when I'm booting up, my machine will freeze once the Fedora logo is shown right before I get into the login screen. Another problem I've had is when I do boot into KDE I'll see an ! icon next to the clock telling me that there has been a crash in the kernel.
Edit: Update- It only hangs when I reboot. If I restart in windows and try to boot fedora, it hangs, if I restart in Fedora, it will hang after the restart. The only way I can boot Fedora is from a cold boot
Edit: I seemed to have fixed the problem after searching Google for 20 minutes. I just ran this command as root.. #chcon -t system_dbusd_exec_t /bin/dbus-daemon
Fedora :: Get A Simple 'lock Screen' Function?
Jan 15, 2011Is there a way to get a simple 'lock screen' function and Icon that will allow one to lock the screen etc by simply clicking a button? This used to be available in 'xscreensaver' but I cannot figure out how to get a similar function through 'gnome-screensaver'.

Aug 5, 2011I'm running Gnome on Fedora 15 (currently in failback mode). I've installed the Fedora provided xscreensaver RPMs and ensured that xscreensaver is running when I login (not gnome-screensaver). The problem is, when I try to lock my screen using one of the multiple "lock screen" icons nothing happens. The following line does appear in my ~/.xsession-errors file when the icon is clicked.
** (gnome-panel:3548): WARNING **: Could not ask screensaver to lock: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnkn own: The name org.gnome.ScreenSaver was not provided by any .service files
This line appears regardless of whether or not the gnome-screensaver RPM is installed. I've tried with both gnome-screensaver installed and without it installed with the same result.
Running "xscreensaver-command -lock" from the command line does successfully lock the screen.
Also, the screen lock icons do work when gnome-screensaver is installed and is set as the default screensaver. Anyway, I just upgrade to Fedora 15 recently (I've used all previous version of Fedora) and this is the first time I've run into this problem.

Dec 14, 2009I keep starting up Fedora and I'm not able to get far (although it's not always at the same time) before my screen will go black, except it shows the mouse/cursor - but it's frozen, and thhen the caps-lock light starts blinking and I can't do anything or get it to recover. Sometimes it happens after 30 seconds, sometimes 40+ seconds and sometimes within 15 or so seconds.
How do I stop this and diagnose this?
I've tried, in the boot-startup to choose an older kernel version, butt the same thing occurs!
I have:
Fedora 11
Kernel: 2.6.29.6-217.2.16.fc11 i586
Asus EEE PC 1002HA
One other thing, it does always seem to happen after I've turned on wireless. And I've been using F11 for months now with no issue.

Because I tend to have:

Everything else - 4th viewport
I'm running Pinguy OS, if that changes anything.
Ubuntu :: Program To Lock Out A Session?
Mar 29, 2011So I have a laptop that I built and installed 10.10 on.
The laptop is used by a minor who needs to be off it at a certain time but can't seem to keep track of time.
I have installed that Nanny program called "Parental Control" through the software center but its not quite what I want. It says it locks out the session...but it seems pretty much useless.
So what I'm looking for is software that would not just lock the session and require them to lock the computer but to literally lock the laptop so they won't be able to use it at all until the time lapses or the admin password is entered.
Fedora :: Terminate Current Running Program And Cancel Command?
Sep 30, 2010In Fedora 13 64 bit, Ctrl+C does not terminate the running programing in terminal window but in Unbuntu this shortcut key works. If I hit Ctrl+Z, this makes the running program run in background which is something I definitely dont want. what is the shortcut for terminating a program in terminal window? What is the shortcut key for canceling the command I have typed but not run yet no matter where the cursor is in the command ? Ctrl+U works but only if cursor is at the last character of the command.

Slackware :: KDE 4.4.5 - No Lock Screen - No Screen Saver
Aug 23, 2010What happens is that I resorted to deleting my .kde directory after my kid destroyed my profile where title bar, menu, konsole get broken. After deleting, I login again thus regenerating the .kde directory. To avoid my kid from messing my desktop, I tried to lock it. It does not lock.
It just need a KDE full restart perhaps since when I login the other day, it now works.
I'm updated to Slackware current for almost a month already and have not played a lot on KDE desktop (busy programming stuff).
However, on day I tried to lock the desktop in KDE to avoid the kid from destroying my cool desktop setting, but it didn't lock. Cool, so I tried screen saver and add an option to lock the screen.
When I test screen saver, it displays. But when I wait for 1 minute(I set it that way), it doesn't fire up. Not even after 15 minutes which I think the default.
It usually work before (several months ago) using the lower version of KDE. It is just last Saturday that I noticed it.
I tried to dig the profile management but I could not find anything relevant there.

Fedora :: See On Computer Screen That Fsck Is Running?
Sep 4, 2010I have been using Ubuntu for a couple of years, and I had some problems that nobody could fix, so I thought I would try Fedora.
If I want to automatically fix errors in Fedora (or Ubuntu) on the next boot the normal method is to type [code] sudo touch /forcefsck at a terminal prompt. In Ubuntu after I boot it up I can see on my computer screen that fsck is running, but with Fedora there is no indication on the screen that fsck is running.
Since I can't see it, how do I know that Fedora is actually running fsck?
