Description of problem: The Fedora i3 Spin supplies a default i3 configuration, that uses xss-lock to call i3lock. It suggests to use loginctl lock-session to lock the screen. xss-lock is not installed though.
loginctl lock-session
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-34-1.2
How reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce: 1. install Fedoras i3 Spin from the official iso 2. execute loginctl lock-session
Actual results: Nothing happens
Expected results: i3lock locks the screen
Additional info: none
I believe this can be fixed as follows: we install xss-lock as part of the i3 spin and modify the custom Fedora i3 config to execute xss-lock --transfer-sleep-lock -- i3lock --nofork on startup. Then loginctl lock-session does what one expects from it, but it adds a dependency on xss-lock.
xss-lock --transfer-sleep-lock -- i3lock --nofork
xss-lock
Any thoughts?
