Screen lock is fundamentally broken in KDE/Plasma. Screen should be locked based on power state of a device and not solely based on time triggers. I want my screen to lock say when screen goes off which indicates that I have been away from my system for a considerable amount of time. It doesn't work like that in Plasma. Plasma will only lock your system at a minute or 2 or 5 minute or whatever you set it to. These don't always coincide with your power options. Android allows triggering of screen lock when power button is pressed or any time screen goes off. My wild guess is that Ubuntu's screen locker is also triggered when screen goes off (I haven't tried it in a long time). According to Kwin dev, X11 has no such API and Android is SurfaceFlinger. Maybe we will have a better screen locker in Wayland. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com. _______________________________________________ kde mailing list kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/kde@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
