You can just drag-and-drop the item in the Applications menu to the Edit Launchers dialog, or just edit the command manually with the Lock Screen command. The Use a D-Bus command drop-down is for convenience, any D-Bus command you type in would work.
Also, the reason I haven't added the Screen Lock to the drop down because of some minor look-and-feel issue.
I will try to do it again but last time i thought i dragged and dropped from that application menu it didn't take. I'll let you know how that works. I'll do the D-Bus trick if it doesn't work. Thanks
Ah sorry:
At the moment I'm not sure how to solve this.
I did it a round about way.
created a script to lock the screen using loginctl
#!/usr/bin/python3.6
import subprocess
info_task = subprocess.run(['loginctl', 'show-user', 'my_user'], stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output = info_task.stdout.decode('utf-8')
sessions = [line for line in output.splitlines() if 'Sessions=' in line][0]
session_ids = sessions.replace('Sessions=','').split()
the_int = 1
for session_id in session_ids:
try:
the_int = int(session_id)
continue
except ValueError:
pass
subprocess.run(['loginctl', 'lock-session', str(the_int)])
Hi ibigpapa, This has been fixed and released in v5.8 Hope you like it.
In Use an internal command or use a D-Bus command Screen Lock isn't available. In the Application dock item it's available under session. I would like to have as an icon on dock.
