Add xtrlock & to the end of the suspend script.
P.S. On very rare occasions xtrlock fails to grab input focus, e.g. when the Opera address bar has input focus, most window manager hotkeys don't seem to work.
that application worked like i assume its supposed to. if that displayed a blank screen instead of showing the desktop then i would be a lot happier with it.
Haha, yeah, we just gotta find some app that takes full screen and run it before xtrlock.
there is xlockmore in community. that seems to do the job. it displays a screensaver when resuming though. if there was a way to configure it to just be blank that would be cool.
Edit: or just a picture of a login promt so the person wouldnt just shut down the machine thinking something is wrong with it.

  • Keyboard-mouse locked after resume from suspend

    After the last couple of system updates my system no longer resumes properly from suspend. The video is fine but the keyboard-mouse combo is locked up.
    The kb-mouse combo is a logitech wireless:
    Bus 001 Device 002: ID 046d:c517 Logitech, Inc. LX710 Cordless Desktop Laser
    I can see no relevant log details in systemctl that lead me anywhere. Any ideas appreciated.

    I don't know if this is the same bug. I'm using openbox and a desktop computer without any touchpad. After being suspended, my mouse somehow rules all of my desktop - whole screen is flattering, and moving mouse changes the size of the visible, flashing window. Moving cursor to the top of the screen "locks" the window, and everything except mouse cursor is perfectly normal. Cursor is waving and flashing bunch of pixels, from the right side of the screen to the current location of the mouse cursor. I can use the mouse, and cursor is in right location. Ctrl+Alt+F2 visiting to tty2 and coming back fixes the situation, so I can use computer just fine, but it's still quite uncomfortable. Sounds quite strange, I think?

  • Screen lock after updating to 8.2 (12D508) on iPad 2

    Hi,
    I have just updated my iPad 2 with 8.2 (12D508) and the screen is now locked in the portrait position. I have tried some work arounds e.g holding down both the on/off button and the Home button, toggling the screen lock on and off but to no avail. I have not had this problem with previous updates.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks

  • Tecra A4 - Blank Screen Sometimes After Resume

    Sometimes after a resume the laptop restarts with a blank screen. Nothing there but it's working if you know what I mean. For instance I can press FN+F1 (the screen switch off button) and the laptop will play the little tune indicating that the action has happened even though I can't see it. And no, the brighten/darken screen buttons have no effect. The screen is just off.
    If I hold down the start button to switch off and then press to reboot everything starts as normal.
    Anyone know why this sometimes happens?

    I was wondering if you could lend me a hand. I created a recovery DVD using the Recovery Tool that comes with the Tecra A4 and then asked to re-install the system. Stupid me, I didn't check to see if the DVD was ok before formatting my HD. Unfortunately, my DVD starts the installation and then hangs. I've called Toshiba, sent e-mails, done everything to see if they could send me a replacement recovery DVD but haven't had a response. Would you mind creating the DVD for me? I know it's a pain, but I cannot think of any thing else to do. I'm willing to buy the DVD from Toshiba but they won't respond to my e-mails. ANyway, I would be greatly in your debt if you could. If not, thanks for your time.

  • Screen locked after rebooting

    Hi !
    I really would be grateful if somebody could assist me.
    My Curve 8520 froze on me today so I rebooted it, only to find that once it rebooted and came to the enter the security pin number for the sim card, my keyboard and scroll buttons were not working. I noticed a 'lock' sign at the bottom right hand side of my screen.
    I tried pressing the unlock button at the top of my phone to rid myself of the lock, aswell as hold down the red phone key.  The phone then just switches off by itself.
    The phone was not wet, dropped or damaged in any way !
    Please help !!
    Thank you for your response/s

  • HT201412 iPad3 blocked and passcode screen locked after installing IOS6. Known issue?

    Since I upgraded to IOS6, my iPad3 locks at least once a day, does not allow me to enter my passcode and needs to be restarted

    First go to settins/general and make sure that passode lock is off.
    Try holding the home and sleep/wake buttons at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, usually about 10-15 sec. This will reboot the ipad. If that doesn't work go to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
    If none of the above work then maybe a restore is necessary:

  • Satellite x205-s7483 Screen locks after a few hours

    Hello all i'm having a problem with my satellite x205-s7483 I've had it about 2 yrs now and lately the seen locks up and I can't move the pointer with the mouse and all the keys are unresponsive. I have to hold the power button till the laptop shuts off then boot it up again. It then works fine but when I leav it alone for a few hours it locks up again. Any ideas whats wrong? Is the memory failing? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Satellite X205-S7483
    Let's try to learn more.
    Note the computer-clock time when lock-up occurs.
    Open Event Viewer (eventvwr.msc) and expand Windows Logs.
    Inspect the Application and System logs for a (preferably Error) event at that exact time.
    Don't try to copy anything manually. Double-click the entry and click the Copy button to put the details on your clipboard.
    Paste that without editing into your reply - except include only the part above the line Event Xml:.

  • [Solved] Slock crash after resume

    Hi there.
    I recently experience something odd.
    I call slock in /etc/systemd/system/[email protected] so that the screen is locked after resume.
    What started only recently (I believe) is that (I assume) slock crashes about a minute after resume.
    The only thing I can observe is that the lock screen is suddenly gone, without me touching anything.
    If I enable slock manually this does not happen, so I assume that something kills slock.
    Any ideas?

  • IOS 4.3 - screen locked during incoming call

    Hello, all!
    I have interresting problem after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 4. Sometimes (1 time per each 10-20 times) when incoming call is received, ipone playing the ringtone, vibration is generated and I see on display usually information "incoming call from..." and slide button to receive call - then touch screen of iPhone becomes fully locked and I can not receive the call ! Hardware pushbuttons (power and volume control) still working, but display is fully locked! In this case it is only one way to answer the call - using bluetooth headset. Any other way and any other operations have no any effect - iPhone still playing rington and still waiting when I answer the call.
    This situation occurs aproximately on every 10th or 20th incoming call - i.e. one or two times per each day. And, of cource, this is usually very important call that i can not answer because of this stupid situation.
    The problem was detected after I update iOS 4.2 up to iOS 4.3 via iTunes.
    So, please tell by wich way it is possible to fix this bug and where I have to send notification to solve this problem in the shortest time?
    Thanks!

    I'm experiencing what is I believe to be the same issue with my iPhone 4, and have been suffering in silence for about a week.
    iPhone 4 model MC603X with Modem Firmware 04.10.01, 16Gb, cheap silicone cover, Vodafone NZ as my carrier.
    My screen locks after 1 minute of inactivity as it should with my settings. Perhaps 1 call in 5, or 1 call in 10, the screen wakes up and displays called ID information etc correctly, but I cannot swipe to answer the call. The touch screen simply fails to respond.
    If I push the power button briefly to silence the ringtone, this does not make a difference. The iPhone has to be locked (and screen turned off), then push a hardware button to wake up the display, and then I can swipe to unlock the device.
    This is only since iOS 4.3 and unfortunately iOS 4.3.1 has not changed this behaviour.
    Any advice appreciated.
    Cheers, Mike

  • Screen lock on q10

    There r times like when driving that it is a pain in a** to have screen lock after 5 min. Seems to be max setting can use. Anyone know how to turn off screen lock?

    The max setting is five minutes.
    How are you waking up the screen? Are you swiping the screen?
    The easist method is to tap once quickly on the top edge power button.

  • Screen Timeout vs Screen Lock

    It would be nice to be able to have separate settings for the screen timeout vs when the screen locks.  Currently, when the screen turns off it is automatically locked.
    Are there any plans to separate these 2 functions?  
    For example, I would like to be able to have the screen go off after 30 or 60 seconds and be able to bring it back just by touching it but have the screen lock after a few minutes of inactivity.  I believe this was the case on previous phones.
    Thanks,
    Rob.

    Rib, just touch the top edge power key to being the device out of sleep state in one touch. Without having to enter the security password.

  • E6 and screen lock + picking destination with voic...

    Hi there,
    was wondering if nokia maps available for nokia e6 would receive in the nearest future more visible buttons to press. It look like as if it was taken from smaller screens and put just there in the device. On the other hand, this problem could be solved by picking your destination with a voice command.
    As a start it would be nice even to set it manually for a favoruite location that would give a such combination "drive...wroclaw home", the device then would ask, if the location is proper (like in picking a phone number) and 'if yes' then it would lunch nokia maps with picking the best route to destination so you don't bother with buttons. Something like launching apps with command line.
    And finally a third thing. Is there a way for the nokia e6 not to have screen locked after some time? Because when I'm driving a long distance, the screen lights up for about 10 minutes, then it goes off (because there is no turn for a few km, and have the backround light set to optimised) and then, when I want to wake the screen up to see the road ahead, I see the unlock bar....very funny during a 120km/h speed.
    Maybe there is a way around to turn off pernamently the screen to lock (because the only options I see is from 1 minute to 5 minutes but no 'disabled' option).
    Please help.

    Yes, but when daily plan is that you need to go for 2 hours somwhere by car, than still make some calls, some emails and such then get back the same day you may not have the time to charge the battery.
    Don't get me wrong I know that I can plug it in into my cars socket and charge it, but then again I hate cables stretched all over the cabin. Besides I want for my navi just to support me and it is a waste of energy just to have the screen on all the time. At least for me...
    Thanks for your reply though.
