The suckless simple X display locker with some patches and modifications applied by me.
To this build I have applied the following patches:
In order to build slock you need the Xlib header files. In addition, the
blur pixelated screen patch requires imlib2
to be installed.
Edit config.def.h
to your liking, making sure to set appropriate values
for the user
and group
variables, otherwise slock
will error out.
Also, edit config.mk
to match your local setup (slock
is installed into
the /usr/local
namespace by default).
Afterwards run the following command to build and install slock
sudo make clean install
Simply invoke the slock
command. To get out of it, enter your password.
