Locking the screen with fluxbox.

[darksky]

Hi all,

I was just wondering if it's possible to lock the desktop in fluxbox?

Thanks.

You have to use xscreensaver to do it with a command like this:

xscreensaver-command -lock

You can put a line like this in your Fluxbox menu to make it easier:

[exec] (Lock Screen) {xscreensaver-command -lock}

Make sure that xscreensaver is running when you start Flux else it will complain. You may have to add something like

xscreensaver -nosplash &

to your .xinitrc file to make sure it starts up every time.
