I see they have removed the xlock/xlockmore program on debian 7 (this was probably removed earlier than that) and im having difficulties finding an alternative when using fluxbox. I dont see this in the repositories anywhere anymore and ive tried several repos i found on the web which looks legit enough to add them to sources.list.
Does anyone know a program i could use to lock the screen in fluxbox ? Preferably with the simplicity of xlock/xlockmore.
The only standalone locking programs I can see in the repos are vlock (console, no good for you) and i3lock. Maybe take a look at i3lock and see if it meets your needs?
seems to be working good as much like xlock, thanks i did have some strange experiences with it at first when it wouldnt accept my password but the next times i tried it worked like it should
