So you’re saying that if you run /usr/bin/i3lock -n -f -i "/home/skyy/Pictures/jap.png" from a terminal, the picture shows up?

What happens if you manually invoke the systemd unit using systemctl start?

Skyy93 commented 4 years ago

Yes and when i Start the Service Manual it shows the picture

When you run into the problem, can you log into your computer either by:

switching to a virtual text console (e.g. ctrl-alt-f2)
using SSH from a different device

and check which processes are running, e.g. using ps auxf?

Please paste the line for the i3lock process.

@stapelberg

sorry for kept you waiting so long! I managed to get it fixed :)

My new config is now:

[Unit]
Description=i3lock
Before=sleep.target

[Service]
User=me
Type=forking
Environment=DISPLAY=:0
ExecStart=/usr/bin/i3lock -i /home/me/Pictures/background.png

[Install]
WantedBy=sleep.target

and i added chmod+x on the service file

i3 / i3lock
