  • System hangs on resumption

    When I resume after suspending, the tty prompt for physlock comes up, as intended. When I enter my password, though, it shows the desktop and lets me move around the mouse, but the keyboard does nothing.
  • Is it possible to use a virtual keyboard while swaylock / lock screen is active?

    I'm not familiar with the PinePhone, but since you're able to use fbkeyboard in VTs, it sounds like physlock might work for you. I just wrote a comment about it in another thread. Unfortunately it's not very amenable to customization.
  • swaylock alternatives?

    I use and recommend physlock. It's the most security-focused screen locking utility I'm aware of. Upon activation, it switches out of the graphical session and into tty0 which helps mitigate both of your issues. It also locks TTY switching to prevent accessing a logged-in TTY while locked, which is something that I don't think most other screen lockers do.

    I use physlock[0] which locks all of the ttys. I've had no issues.
