[BUG] - Slideshow lock screen not working #1110

Open toxsickcity opened 1 month ago

toxsickcity commented 1 month ago

Description

Hello Members of ATLAS,

I am new around here and started to install atlas to my home pc's and love how clean the os is now,

stupid right click is restored to windows 10 style yay!!

Anywho I am here to ask support regarding a feature I do like in 10/11 which is when system is idle the system goes to LOCK SCREEN, then displays a slideshow of photos which I really enjoy. Typically, you would set slide show, select the folder,. and hit WIN+L to bring lock screen, the changes are immediate and after usually 3 seconds will start display the photos..

This seems removed or broken in Atlas, Please help :)

Sadly I am unable to see this working with any of my Atlas systems,

Can someone please assist me to restore this feature :)

Many thanks, Shaun.

Hello @toxsickcity,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. A current workaround for this is to enable SlideShow through the power plan settings. You can do this by clicking Start Menu > Search for Edit Power Plan > Change advanced power settings >Desktop Background Settings >Slide Show > Change from Paused to Available.

I have implemented this fix here #1116

Hello,

Thank you for your reply,

I have followed your instructions and found to already be enabled, but lock screen wont change or show any images from any folders when in slideshow mode,

I think the power option you refer to is the desktop background and not the lock screen functions?

I have for curious sakes put the setting into paused then back into available again which also didn't help,

many regards, Shaun.

Thanks @toxsickcity,

We will investigate this further, I have tried this fix myself and thought it took a while for the images to start showing up on the lock screen. Seems like this doesn't fix the issue.

Hello Again @toxsickcity, I may have a solution for this issue.

Can you please try re-enabling Search indexing with the script found in the Atlas Folder > 3. General Configuration > Search Indexing. Then I need you to go to the lock screen wallpaper settings and swap from slideshow to picture, after a few moments swap back to slideshow and configure your folders if needed.

Please let me know if this works.

Hello the-Pineapple.

I share good news, the Enable the 'Windows Indexing ' resolved it for me too,

I really appreciate you looking into this, although its a silly feature, it's something that looks nice :)

Thanks again for your efforts in finding a solution :)

There is a further issue here. The above fix works for the lock screen Win+L or when pc goes to lockscreen when it is in idle. But for the initial boot-time log in screen the wallpaper is still a bland yellow-orange one. I cannot seem to change it.

Not sure about that one. I'll have to take a look. Maybe the Devs will know more.

I will look to see if I can replicate your issue on my machines and if so I will update the ticket in GitHub,

Cheers.
