Input requested regarding Suspend

I've made a shutdown utility to use on future versions of Miyo. I'm using it now on the latest release instead of the default obsession utility... tongue

My question is, for those who use Suspend, do you prefer the screen to be locked when you Suspend? Yes, no...doesn't matter?

I'm not asking in regards to MiyoLinux users; I'm asking in regard to anyone who uses Suspend on any operating system. smile

Thank you for any input!

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

I usually don't use suspend, so I can't say. But I'd like to have a look at the source of your utility if you don't mind. Can you put it up on GitHub? I suppose it's either written in Bash or Python. I'm working on something similar (in Bash, currently).

Just found this, and "No" - I don't want screen to be locked. But, isn't that an option in power manager?
Keeping the option, sounds good to keep smile

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

I'm asking in regard to anyone who uses Suspend on any operating system

I generally prefer systems to err on the side of being mistrusting. If I'm using suspend, I'm probably on a device with a battery. Devices on batteries can be picked up and moved away from the owner.

Lock screen, verify that the person in front of the computer is the owner before displaying any potentilaly sensitive data.

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

yes, always turn on a screen lock in screensaver/suspend.
but in general i agree with @stanz, that should be a choice, not a default smile

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

I'm with imhigh.today and xinomilo, it should have at least the option to lock. I want my screen to be locked when resuming from either suspend or hibernate.

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

First...thanks for these latest replies. smile  I truly appreciate it.

Second, to msi...I don't know if you'll see this, but I promise that I wasn't avoiding your inquiry. I don't know how I missed it before. Please forgive me.

Isn't there consolekit2.  There has been recent discussion. and also there are consolekit related packages in beowulf:
libpolkit-backend-1-0-consolekit
libpolkit-gobject-1-0-consolekit
etc.

You should probably be on the ML.

The last time I tried a straight beowulf build, it was a no-go with consolekit. Perhaps I should try again. LOLOLOLOL! tongue

I've been too busy with the latest i3 versions to test things...

Thank you...I'll look into it when I have time. smile

Well, I tried a quick basic beowulf Openbox build this evening...there's good news and bad news.

The bad news: still no Consolekit.

The good news: the obsession utility (from the repositories) works with elogind! I can shutdown, reboot, etc with it. smile

Using lxpolkit (for the authentication agent), still works fantastic for opening things like synaptic too.

Now if I can figure out what commands obsession is using...

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

Hooray! I F...I...N...A...L...L...Y found the commands that work with elogind for my exit utility! tongue

loginctl poweroff
loginctl reboot
loginctl suspend
loginctl hibernate

So, if this may possibly help anyone else, here's the new code for the exit utility in upcoming MiyoLinux versions based on beowulf...

#!/bin/sh

yad --form --center --undecorated --align=left --width=165 --borders=10 --height=320 --skip-taskbar \
--image=/usr/share/miyolinux/miyo-exit.png --image-on-top \
--field="  Shutdown!gnome-shutdown!Shut Down":fbtn "loginctl poweroff" \
--field="  Reboot!system-reboot!Restart":fbtn "loginctl reboot" \
--field="  Suspend!gnome-session-suspend!Suspend":fbtn "loginctl suspend" \
--field="  Hibernate!gnome-session-hibernate!Hibernate":fbtn "loginctl hibernate" \
--field="  Log Out!gnome-logout!Log Out":fbtn "openbox --exit" \
--button=gtk-cancel --buttons-layout=center \

...it still looks the same...

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

Are you sure? loginctl is in the systemd package .. or rather, where did you get it from?

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

Ralph, I found it in an old manjaro forum from back when they still had an openrc version.

That loginctl part works on my Beowulf build for shutdown, reboot, and suspend. I haven't tried hibernate yet.

Have I stumbled upon a boo-boo? tongue

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

Well, I think one can say you are threading the boundary at least smile

MiyoLinux distribution = Devuan beowulf + ( some bits of systemd that happened to work today )

It doesn't bother me as such, but I might be special wink wink

Ah...this just registered with me (if I understand the question correctly).

I didn't get "it" anywhere. I just saw what someone was using on Manjaro OpenRC in their i3 config file; which was, loginctl ______ .

I didn't install anything extra; I simply tried the commands first from the terminal, and they worked. Now...whether that relates to it working now (in beowulf) as opposed to it continuing to work in the future...I don't know.

Just wanted to clarify that I didn't install anything to give me the ability to use loginctl.

Re: Input requested regarding Suspend

mmm maybe a

dpkg -S loginctl

could shed some light on it. For me, as I don't have that program, I tried

apt-file find loginctl

which reported it as belonging to systemd. And as far as I can tell, there is no installation candidate for that package in any Devuan repository.

Strange.

I'm using straight beowulf repositories. No outside packages installed other than the Refracta tools (which apparently aren't in beowulf yet?)...and my window themes and custom accessories (that use yad straight from the beowulf repos).

Just for kicks, I did another build on another computer that's even more stripped down (than my normal build) with only beowulf repos and no other additions at all...and loginctl works on it too.

Edited to add: I'm on my phone and can't check that command right now. I'll try it later. smile
