I recently upgraded my laptop from wheezy to jessie, and everythingis going smoothly. I run a very simple system, with X but no DE. I would like to lock the screen when the lid of my laptop is closed(by running xscreensaver, which I currently have installed, if possible,but any other method will do).How to do it? After searching a bit I suspect I have to mess with systemdconfiguration files, but I am not sure which one to edit.
On suspend, systemd-logind will send out a signal on DBus to all processes listening for it that says: please lock your screen. There's something called xss-lock that can allegedly (haven't tried it myself) listen to those events and invoke the the screensaver then. It's part of Jessie: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/xss-lock Hope that helps. Christian
