Light Locker is a simple session-locker for Lightdm forked from gnome-screensaver that aims to have simple, sane, secure defaults and be well integrated with the desktop while not carrying any desktop-specific dependencies. <\/p>\n

With it, the lock screen will look identical to the LightDM greeter – the Unity default login screen.<\/p>\n

\"LightDM<\/a><\/p>\n

Requirements:<\/b><\/p>\n

To use light-locker with systemd, you need at least lightdm 1.7.0. light-locker doesn’t work with lightdm version 1.7.5-1.7.9<\/p>\n

I’ve tested in Ubuntu 13.04 with default lightdm 1.6.0. The light locker works when my laptop wakes up from suspend. But the Lock\/Switch Account option<\/i> in shutdown menu doesn’t work! Use it at your own risk!<\/p>\n

Install LightDM Locker:<\/h3>\n

The Stable PPA has been created for Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy and Ubuntu 13.04 Raring. <\/p>\n

Before getting started installing it, press Ctrl+Alt+T<\/u> on your keyboard to open terminal. When it opens, run command to remove the gnome-screensaver:<\/p>\n

sudo apt-get remove gnome-screensaver<\/pre>\n
The you can add the ppa via command:<\/p>\n
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:light-locker\/release<\/pre>\n
Finally install LightDM locker. Log out and back in to take effect.<\/p>\n
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install light-locker<\/pre>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
