Is xlock not still used? That's unfortunate. If you can still run xlock, simply use the -mode [modename] command-line switch, where "modename" is any of almost 90 variations of screensavers. "matrix" is an interesting choice, or "noof" or "stairs". See the xlock manpage for available modes.
[xlock still default in 14.2 64-bit...]

Good luck.

Thanks, but no, it is not xlock, it is something else, no idea what. Probably there is a configuration file somewhere where you can define which app should get executed when "lock".

Hi. Okay, you're using fluxbox WM, aren't you? Your menu configuration file should be in ~/.fluxbox/menu, or if not then /usr/share/fluxbox/menu.
You probably already know that, but just in case the syntax is as follows:
cat /usr/share/fluxbox/menu | grep Lock
[exec] (Lock screen) {xlock}

So in my case this shows how "xlock" is being called when selecting "Lock screen" from the fluxbox drop-down menu.
But in your case it should show what new application is being called instead. Armed with that information, you should be able to seek the man page for whatever that is ("elogind"?).

Or, if xlock is still installed on your system, or can still be installed on your system; you could substitute/specify xlock in the fluxbox menu file. Mind you, it has to be the one in ~/.fluxbox or else your edit won't be permanent.

Does any of that help?

HaHah! Well since not only have I not changed my wallpaper in ages, but after posting my very old Tron themed desktop, I decided to use it on a new install of December's Slackware Current to celebrate the (finally!) coup de grace by Plasma 5 and new Xfce.

It is very similar to past posts with a few new details. A rather biggie is the new Asus ROG Maximus X11 Hero system with an i5 10600K adaptively overclocked to 5.0K, and Conky with wifi signal strength data and Logins.

OK now I have to once again trial and error what thumbnails LQN will accept and still zoom to full. Here's goes nuttin'! Grrrr. It says it accepts .png, what's the deal? OK GIMP to the rescue

Thanks, but no, it does not help. I have xlock in the Fluxbox menu, but to be honest, I don't wanna use xlock but the app that is used now for locking the session. I just wanna know the name of it, or somehow identify which is the locking program...

Now tats more like it

Thanks a tron!

On the other note, I need to get some fresh wallpapers for the upcoming 15.0 really soon, perhaps i could resort to some animated backdrops like i did in the past?

I'm very pleased today to see that the latest Current fscking R0X even on my ancient T61P Thinkpad. Between how lean 'n mean KDE has become the addition of a 40 dollar Samsung SATA SSD has made this machine come alive! This is even with old SATA support ie: Circa 2007. I haven't used laptops very much but this one is a fairly serious powerhouse for it's time, the last series from IBM, and also the last mobile platform without the invasive Intel MCE in BIOS. It's quite comfortable now.

Nice wallpaper. Virginia? Colorado? Dolomites? Alps? Pyrenees?

Wow, a see a very nice "working" conky there!

Thanks but I don't know. Usually I create or modify an existing photo for wallpaper, but on the laptop I just searched through KDE's "find more wallpapers" and spotted that one. I seriously doubt that's Virginia, since I live there and haven't see craggy peaks like that here. I also doubt it's Colorado since only a few spots have such peaks and the valleys tend to be dryer and more limited in foliage, especially that close to tree line, being a high plains desert. I lived there, too, for about a decade (didn't want to leave but the Oil Shale Debacle along with the concurrent recession all but killed much of the Western Slope). My rank guess would be Alps but I've never even been to Europe sadly.

Thanks but only partly working. I will have to see if I can get the Nvidia data another way because that old GPU, a Quadro FX 570M, uses the v390.x nvidia legacy driver and won't respond to xnvcntrl being based in 450.x nvidia drivers

It could be somewhere in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. Looks a little like the north east corner of Yosemite National Park.
