  • Lock screen woes

    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?

    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!

  • How to lock system before suspend?

    This is a weird choice in my opinion. multilockscreen first locks the screen then suspends the system when using multilockscreen -s. That makes much more sense to me.

    I have a laptop that I use without battery to protect the livespan while i'm in lockdown, I manage to set up suspend on idle and hibernation through systemd (following this) and works fine, then set up a screen locker with xss-lcok and multilockscreen (following this and this) and then again, work fine, block the screen on idle.
