Lockscreen Not Working

[joselevelsup]

Hey @adi1090x ,

First off I am a big fan of your rices. I could never do it myself cause it's just to tedious. So I kind of rely on other's rices and just tweak it.

So I installed your rice for this WM. The lockscreen just locks after a certain amount of time (which I don't care) but there is no way for me to unlock it. I would have to open another TTY and run newm-cmd unlock. In your videos and screenshots, I notice there should be a pop up. Any possible reason why this wouldn't work?

@joselevelsup

make sure you have alacritty terminal and thefuzz python module installed.

to install the module, run : pip3 install thefuzz

you can adjust the power settings in this section of config.py file

## Power Saving ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
energy = {
    'idle_callback': lambda event: "idle",
    'idle_times': [120, 300, 600],
    'suspend_command': "systemctl suspend",
}

120 is the time to dim the screen, 300 is the time to lock and 600 is the time to suspend/sleep.

I installed the thefuzz and I already had alacritty installed. Still nothing to prompt me to unlock.

@joselevelsup So, You're still not getting this?

Which distro are you using?

Login to NEWM and manually lock the screen. then unlock it the way you're unlocking it. then paste the content of ~/.cache/newm_log file here.

@adi1090x sorry for the late response.

Yeah, I'm not getting that at all. I lock my screen and just type my password but nothing (I thought it might be hidden or something).

Here is my newm_log

Let me know if you need anything else.

EDIT: Forgot to mention my distro is Manjaro

It looks like it's the wm issue, as reported here

I have installed this dotfiles too. System is 5.18.14-arch1-1. Sway and River runs fine.

So, Not resolved? With alacritty and thefuzz module, it works.

[hekatonkheirex]

I'm sorry for late reply, but this is the message I got when I try to type the password https://imgur.com/jvbCZN3 I have foot, alacritty and thefuzz installed

[joselevelsup]

Yeah still nothing on my end. I have all the modules installed and I still can't figure it out. Then again, python is not my strong suit lol.

[adi1090x]

Fixed by adding python-thefuzz pkg in Repo. Update!
