Meeting summary

Items carried on

• Open action items from previous meeting (knome, 15:02:32)

  • ACTION: xubuntu-team to investigate adding a screenlocker (knome, 15:03:04)

  • 16:37 < ochosi> knome, mr_pouit: let me add this to the "do away with xscreensaver, instead just use a lock-thingy", this is how far lightdm is in that respect: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-p-lock-screen (pleia2, 15:05:02)

  • < ochosi> i.e. not very far. i've been looking out for alternatives, and to be honest, none of them is working extra-smooth or great-looking (pleia2, 15:05:10)

  • I asked if there were others to try < ochosi> xlockmore, xlockmore-gl, xtrlock, i3lock (pleia2, 15:05:43)

  • < pleia2> is keeping xscreensaver and just defaulting to blank xscreensaver+screen lock an option? (pleia2, 15:06:55)

  • < ochosi> sure < pleia2> I think that may be as close as we can get until lightdm gets sorted (pleia2, 15:07:09)

  • ACTION: xubuntu-team to investigate default settings for monitor power management (knome, 15:19:19)
