19 |
This will redirect you to VT8 (assuming that your open session was on VT7 and is now kept safe by light-locker) and present LightDM's greeter for unlocking your session again. |
20 |
On suspend/resume light-locker will lock the active session and redirect to the LightDM's greeter for unlocking the session again. |
|
21 |
There is no support for gnome-settings-daemon in order to keep things slim, so you might have to add a custom keyboard-shortcut for this to work. |

light-locker will automatically lock the session shortly after the X11 screen saver kicks in. The timeout can be set with --lock-after-screensaver. With xset the X11 screen saver can be adjusted. |

Use --late-locking to avoid some of the negative effects of VT switching. This will lock the session on the deactivation of X11 screen saver instead of activation. |
24 |
light-locker will automatically lock the session on suspend/resume. To disable this behaviour with --no-lock-on-suspend. |
