Summary | 0005897: lock-screen issues | ||||
Description | lock-screen with Super(window) + L key combination does not work. Also both xdg-screensaver lock | ||||
Are you trying to do this in GNOME or in Xfce or somewhere else ? |
|
Gnome |
|
I've the same issue. Im using Gnome and i dont have the lock icon too. I only have settings and power button |
|
Have you checked your shortcut keys? |
|
Yes.. i tried Super(window) + L key and changed to Ctrl + L with the same result |
|
Another note: running gnome-screensaver-command --lock from terminal i got kali locked but Lock Button still missing in System Menu |
|
Another note: running gnome-screensaver-command --lock from terminal i got kali locked (but only after i run gnome-screensaver &) Lock Button still missing in System Menu PS: I cant edit previous note |
|
apt-get -f install --reinstall gnome-shell or apt-get -f install --reinstall gnome-shell-extension and https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/930/suspend-and-lock-button/ have you tried? |
|
also have gnome-tweak installed? |
|
I have gnome-tweaks installed and done this "apt-get -f install --reinstall gnome-shell*". when I now click Super+L or gnome-screensaver-command --lock my screen goes blank and when i move my mouse it shows the current screen. does not lock thus does not ask for password |
|
locks for other accounts but not for root. a solution online said i should do this |
|
It's precisely to avoid that kind of issues that we're moving away from using the root user. See https://www.kali.org/news/kali-default-non-root-user/ Thus we're not going to fix this specific issue. |
