Lockscreen Suddenly Changing (SOLVED)

[PCNetSpec]

Okay the suckless-tools package contains 'slock' which takes priority over i3lock in the in the screenlock script (/usr/bin/lxlock), so....

Uninstall suckless-tools and the screensaver should work again:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get remove --purge suckless-tools

if for some reason you cannot uninstall suckless-tools (maybe because something else you have installed depends on it), instead run:

Code: [Select]

gksudo xed /usr/bin/lxlock

and comment out these 2 lines

Code: [Select]

elif which slock >/dev/null; then
    slock &

so they now read

Code: [Select]

# elif which slock >/dev/null; then
#     slock &

SAVE the file .. and now test the screenlock

Suckless tools sucked for me, but now they're gone.

Thank you.
