The lock function works, but when you hit the 'new login' button on the xscreensaver prompt it complains about missing gdmflexiserver and re-locks. (I'm a recent convert, Unity pushed me over the edge.) I know this how-to is written for 11.04 but I tried it in 11.10. Nocturtle wrote:FIrst of all thanks for all your work on Lubuntu.
In Lubuntu 11.04, you need to do it yourself.Īgain, please don't consider this as a disadvantage. With Linux, you can do that yourself or perhaps someone else have done it for you. Yes, it's true that in MS Windows, you can simply Press "Window Logo + L" to Lock the Screen but Linux is not Windows. Please, don't blame LXDE or Lubuntu for not making this "simple" feature to work Out-Of-The Box. Those who have used or still using GNOME, they know that could be done very easily with "Keyboard Shortcut" which is installed by default, say Ubuntu 11.04. Myself and others users may notice that Lubuntu 11.04, by default, does NOT have any Shortcut or Menu Entry to Lock The Screen.
However, sometimes you need to do some "few simple steps" to achieve what you are looking for.
#CUSTOMIZE XSCREENSAVER LOCK SCREEN INSTALL#
Install and configure the Uncomplicated Firewall.Raspberry Pi is a trademark of the Raspberry Pi Foundation Now when you come to unlock the screen the background image should be ‘Two Wings’ instead of the default ‘Stripes’… > /usr/share/backgrounds/mate/desktop/Stripes.png # ln /usr/share/backgrounds/mate/nature/.TwoWings.jpg \ > /usr/share/backgrounds/mate/nature/.TwoWings.jpg # mv /usr/share/backgrounds/mate/nature/TwoWings.jpg \ > /usr/share/backgrounds/mate/desktop/.Stripes.png # mv /usr/share/backgrounds/mate/desktop/Stripes.png \ Then create a link to the hidden ‘Two Wings’ background to replace the original ‘Stripes’ background. Hiding the ‘Two Wings’ background stops it appearing twice in the list of screen backgrounds when we have finished. In this case I’m using the ‘Two Wings’ image.įirst hide both the default ‘Stripes’ and the ‘Two Wings’ background images. It isn’t possible to change this in the application preferences yet but you can obtain the same effect by renaming the default background image and creating a link to your own background image. īy default when you lock the screen MATE will use the default background on the unlock screen – this looks alright but I prefer to use the same image as my wallpaper. Setting up mate-screensaver-common (1.6.0-1). The following NEW packages will be installed:Ġ upgraded, 2 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.Īfter this operation, 7,394 kB of additional disk space will be used. The following extra packages will be installed:
Then you need to use apt to install the additional packages (include mate-backgrounds if that is not already installed too).
#CUSTOMIZE XSCREENSAVER LOCK SCREEN UPDATE#
Update : 07 Sep 14 – I have recently discovered that this method no longer works for MATE 1.8, it does still work with MATE 1.6. To do this you need to be logged in as root. However I did discover that I couldn’t easily change the desktop background when unlocking a locked session – to get round this problem I simply replaced the default background image with the one I wanted to be able to use.įirst to be able to lock the screen at all you need to install the mate-screensaver package if it isn’t already installed. MATE is fast becoming my desktop environment of choice, and best of all it will run on both my desktop and my Raspberry Pi.
