  • Lock screen woes
    2 projects | /r/archlinux | 5 Jun 2021
    The betterlockscreen package (https://github.com/pavanjadhaw/betterlockscreen) has stopped working for me all of a sudden.. I'm not sure why. I've switched to slock following the instructions on the arch wiki but I've noticed if i suspend my computer with music or audio playing, when i wake it the music restarts even before I've unlocked it. Does anyone know how to fix that?

  • White flash when calling betterlockscreen, any ideas why?

    FIXED by following this https://github.com/pavanjadhaw/betterlockscreen/pull/187 Turns out betterlockscreen is literally just a bash script, and easy to make changes to. Just needed to change the call to i3lock. Thanks anyway!
