Hi Lennart , I have few more questions, 1.I have run $loginctl lock-session <session-ID> command in gnome DE,it is locking the session. and why it is not locking through logind.conf parameters.
2.As per my investigation on session locking, logind uses DBus to propagate the "Lock" event .we will need an application that listens for those events for ex.xss-lock,GDM,SDDM So I have installed xss-lock though I found same behavior 2.May I know which Desktop Environment support locking logic 1.Gnome 2.Mate 3.Lxde 4.Jwm Thank in advance Regards, Archana -----Original Message----- From: systemd-devel <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Archana Polampalli Sent: Wednesday, May 6, 2020 2:25 PM To: Lennart Poettering <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [systemd-devel] IdleAction=lock not working in ubuntu Thank you very much for the prompt reply I am using 'gnome' Desktop Environment Regards, Archana -----Original Message----- From: Lennart Poettering <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, May 6, 2020 2:14 PM To: Archana Polampalli <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [systemd-devel] IdleAction=lock not working in ubuntu On Mi, 06.05.20 06:40, Archana Polampalli ([email protected]) wrote: > Hi All, > > My requirement is my system should get locked automatically when the system > is idle for 5min. > So for this I have configured /etc/system/logind.conf file as > IdleAction = lock IdleActionSec=2min > > And I restarted systemd service with 'setemctl restart > system-logind.service' and I kept my system idle for more than > 20min,but system not getting locked .and IdleAction = poweroff > IdleActionSec=2min Is working ,but lock not working,what I am missing here. > Please any one can help me at your earliest convenience . Which desktop environment are you using? Not all DEs support the locking logic and simply ignore it.
