Coverage report

This PR does not seem to contain any modification to coverable code.

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

The file has been written correctly.

jim.madge:~$ cat /etc/xdg/autostart/light-locker.desktop 
Hidden=true

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

I tested the lock screen and it seems to be working,

I closed my Guacamole tab
Opened a new tab and connected to the workspace
I was prompted for a username and password by the xrdp login
Went straight back to my desktop session, no need to unlock

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

Actually, this might not be right. The screen still locks after idling for some time.

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

Possibly because the file is missing the [Desktop Entry] group header

jemrobinson commented 1 month ago

Or it could be that we're using a different lock screen programme - note that the previous instructions were for XFCE3. I think there's now an xfce4-screenlocker.

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

Hmm, that might be right, light-locker isn't installed 😄.

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

Probably xfce-screensaver, you can trigger the lockscreen with xfce-screensave-command --lock.

jemrobinson commented 1 month ago

Happy for you to either uninstall it (although I guess this might break a meta-package) or to disable it similarly to light-locker.

JimMadge commented 1 month ago

Trying that package in #2128
